DATE: 24.09.2019
PER COURT :
1] Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petition has
been rendered infructuous for the reason it concerns a permission for excavation of sand using machinery and the prayer was that as per law, manual excavation alone was permissible. The period for which excavation was permitted using machinery is over.
2] The petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous.
