ORDER
We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned SPP-II for the respondents through Video Conference.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the writ petition has been rendered infructuous as the son of the petitioner namely Vikram Simha had been to Dharmastala and since returned home, he, therefore, 3 submits that the writ petition would not survive for consideration.
3. Learned SPP-II for the respondents submits that the status report has also been filed and it has been stated that the son of the petitioner has returned home and that he had been to Dharmastala. As he returned home on his own, nothing would survive in this matter.
4. Submission of learned counsel for the respective parties is placed on record.
5. In the circumstances, we find that the writ petition will no longer survive for further consideration. Hence, it stands disposed of.
