Writ petition closed as infructuous upon disposal of underlying appeal by appellate authority.

Headnote:The petitioner filed a writ petition under Article 226 seeking mandamus to dispose of a stay application and appeal before the District Collector regarding possession of land in S.No.197/13, Paluvoor Village. The court noted the petition was filed in March 2022. The Additional Government Pleader submitted that the final order in the appeal had been passed, rendering the matter infructuous. The core issue was whether the writ petition survived for adjudication post the appellate authority's final order. The court's reasoning focused on the mootness due to the disposal of the underlying appeal and interim application. The Writ Petition is closed as infructuous. No costs.
