JUDGMENT

The petitioner has filed the captioned writ petition seeking a direction to the 4^th respondent not to grant an NOC for the proposed petroleum retail outlet by the 1^st respondent herein.

2. Sri.Jay Mohan, the learned counsel for the petroleum company would point out that an NOC has already been issued as evidenced by Ext.R1(a), as early as on 26.02.2017, even before the presentation of this writ petition.

3. Also heard the learned Government Pleader Sri.B.S.Syamanthak and Sri.A.Arunkumar, the learned counsel for the 6^th respondent KSEB.

In view of the issuance of NOC as noticed earlier, I find no merit in this writ petition and the same would stand dismissed.
