infructuous and hence, nothing survives for adjudication.

However, the learned counsel sought liberty to the petitioner to

approach the authority concerned for further relief.

3.Granting such liberty to the petitioner, this writ

petition stands closed. No costs. Consequently, connected

miscellaneous petition is also closed.
