proper in the facts and circumstances of the case in favour of the Petitioner in the interest of justice.”

¶22

The Petitioner is seeking a mandamus to the Respondent No. 1 to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Respondent No. 2, by issuing a show cause notice to him. However, it is noticed that before filing the present writ petition, the Petitioner had filed a complaint dated 14^th July, 2020, in terms of Form-A under Sub-Regulation (3) of Regulation 3 of the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Board of India (Grievance & Complaint Handling Procedure) Regulations, 2017 before Respondent No. 1 and against Respondent No. 2.

¶23

Respondent No. 1 has filed a short affidavit enclosing therewith the decision dated 23^rd May, 2023, rendered on the abovementioned Form A complaint filed by the Petitioner. Counsel for the Petitioner states that the copy of the said decision has not been provided to him.

¶24

Mr. Jaggit Singh, counsel for the Respondent states that a copy was served on the Petitioner, nonetheless, he will serve another copy to the Petitioner within a period of three weeks from today.

¶25

In the opinion of the Court, the relief sought in the present petition is found to be infructuous since appropriate proceedings, in terms of the greivance of the Petitioner, have already been initiated and concluded by Respondent No. 1 and a decision on the same has been rendered. Therefore, it would not be appropriate if this Court grants the mandamus as prayed for, since it would amount to fresh adjudication of the matter. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of.
