2. When this writ petition came up for consideration on 10.04.2026, this Court passed the following order:
“The Counsel appearing for the 3rd respondent submitted that the alleged illegal construction is already removed.
The 1st respondent will inspect the property and submit a report before this court as to whether the unauthorised construction is removed or not. The report shall be placed on or before 10.06.2026.
Post on 10.06.2026.”
3. Now a statement is filed stating that the entire unauthorised construction is removed. If that is the case, nothing survives in this case. If there is any fresh cause of action, the same is left open.
With the above observation, this writ petition is closed.
