For the Appellants/Petitioners: SHRI.T.R.HARIKUMAR, SRI.ARJUN RAGHAVAN
For the Respondents: SHRI.SIJU KAMALASANAN, SC, NAGAROOR GRAMA PANCHAYAT, GOVERNMENT PLEADER
The court determined that a case became infructuous upon the completion of quarrying activities and approval of closure plans, warranting dismissal.
Headnote:The judgment addresses the completion of quarrying activities and the subsequent impact on the writ petition's viability, referencing that learned counsel confirmed the quarry closure approval on 06.12.2024. Consequently, the Court found no issues remaining to be resolved in the petition, leading to it being closed. The petition stands dismissed as infructuous in light of the approved closure plan.
JUDGMENT
When the matter was taken up for consideration on 05.03.2026, learned counsel appearing for the 11th respondent submits that the matter has become practically infructuous, inasmuch as the quarrying activity has already been completed. Today when the matter came up for consideration, learned counsel appearing for the 11th respondent handed over a copy of the communication issued by the Senior Geologist, Thiruvananthapuram dated 06.12.2024, whereby the final quarry closure plan submitted by the 11th respondent has been approved.
In the light of the above, nothing survives in this writ petition. It is accordingly closed.
