ORDER
That the petitioner herein being a landless person is entitled for the grant of the said land and hence, a request was made by him to the Tahasildar for grant of the land. 3 The same was recommended to the Assistant Commissioner, who also sent a recommendation to the Deputy Commissioner. In the interregnum, the Deputy Commissioner granted land measuring 41 Acres 34 Guntas in Survey No.41/A to the Karnataka Small Scale Industries Development Corporation. Therefore, the order of the Deputy Commissioner was challenged before the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal in Appeal No. 414 of 2007. By the order dated 14.05.2007, the appeal was dismissed. Hence, the present petition.
2. During the course of hearing, 5th respondent has filed a memo along with the documents to indicate that the possession of the land in question has been handed over to the Karnataka Small Scale Industries Development Corporation. The layout map has been prepared, plots have been allotted and various other material.
3. The same is not seriously disputed by the petitioner.

4. In view of the documents produced by respondent No.5, nothing further would survive for consideration. Consequently, the petition is dismissed.
