Dated this the 14th day of July, 2016
JUDGMENT
As per Ext.P2 judgment rendered by this Court in W.P.(C) No.17165/2016 and connected cases quashed Circular No.03/2009 being unconstitutional and against the provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act and relevant Rules.
2. The grievance expressed by the petitioner in this writ petition is that, in spite of quashment of Circular No.03/2009, the second respondent has issued Ext.P3 stating that other orders issued subsequent to Circular No.03/2009 is in force. One of the petitioners in the captioned writ petition has filed a contempt against a similar order passed by the second respondent. However, on the basis of a suo motu amendment of the judgment, the contempt petition was closed.
3. Today, when the matter is taken up for W.P.(C). No. 23560 of 2016 2 hearing, learned Government Pleader submitted that, in view of the amendment made to the judgment, Ext.P3 will not be executed by the second respondent. The said submissions made by learned Government Pleader is recorded and the writ petition is closed, accordingly.
Writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
