JUDGMENT: (per Hon'ble The Chief Justice Sri Vipin Sanghi)



             The respondent has filed his counter-affidavit.


2)           The present District Magistrate, Rudraprayag,

has also joined the proceedings virtually.


3)           We have heard learned counsels.

affidavit that the impugned order by which the petitioner

is aggrieved, has been revoked, vide order dated

09.08.2023, passed by the current District Magistrate.
                              2




The impugned order had been passed by the erstwhile

District Magistrate, who has since been moved to

another District.

petitioner stands redressed.

the civil rights of parties. No further orders are called

for.
