ORDER
[Order of the Court was made by DR.G.JAYACHANDRAN, J.]
This civil miscellaneous petition is filed seeking leave of this Court
to prefer a third party appeal as against the order dated 18.09.2025, passed in
W.P.(MD) No.21160 of 2025, on the ground that based on the complaint given
by the petitioner herein, the Indian Oil Corporation Limited cancelled the
dealership of the first respondent herein. However, when the same was
____________

challenged by the first respondent herein before the Writ Court without
impleading the petitioner herein as a party respondent, the cancellation of the
dealership was quashed and hence, the petitioner herein is an interested party
in this matter. Therefore, the petitioner seeks leave of this Court to prefer an
intra-court appeal challenging the order passed by the learned Single Judge.
2. Today, when the matter is taken up for consideration, learned
counsel for the petitioner / proposed appellant submitted that the impugned
order passed by the learned Single Judge has already been tested by this
Court and the same has been quashed in the writ appeal filed by the Indian
Oil Corporation Limited and therefore, nothing survives for consideration in
the present civil miscellaneous petition. To that effect, he has circulated a
copy of the Judgment dated 22.01.2026, passed in W.A.(MD) No.3290 of 2025
to us for consideration.
3. Having gone through the Judgment dated 22.01.2026 passed in
W.A.(MD) No.3290 of 2025, we find that the grievance of the petitioner herein
has already been redressed and nothing survives for further consideration.

4. Accordingly, this civil miscellaneous petition seeking leave of
this Court to the petitioner herein to prefer a writ appeal as third party stands
closed. Consequently, the un-numbered writ appeal stands rejected.
