In the captioned matter, Mr.D.Christenson Judunu, learned counsel for writ petitioner and Mr.K.K.Senthil, learned Standing Counsel for Tamil Nadu Waqf Board who accepts notice on behalf of first respondent are before this virtual Court.

W.P.[MD]No.824 of 2022
the Tamil Nadu Waqf Board on 11.01.2022 at 01:00 PM qua 'Anchuvannam Peer Mohammadia Muslim Association Waqf situate in Thackalay, Kalkulam Vattam, Kanyakumari District' (hereinafter 'said Waqf' for the sake of convenience and clarity).
3. Obviously 11.01.2022 date has since elapsed. Learned counsel for writ petitioner submits that writ petitioner received a phone call before 11.01.2022 from the Office of the first respondent and he was informed that the 11.01.2022 meeting stands adjourned but the next date was not informed. Learned Standing Counsel for Tamil Nadu Waqf Board who has accepted notice on behalf of first respondent on instructions confirms that the meeting did not happen on 11.01.2022.
4. Be that as it may, learned counsel for writ petitioner submits that he has now received yet another notice showing the writ petitioner alone as noticee. Learned counsel has to therefore now assail the notice said to have been received by the writ petitioner if so advised. To be noted, this Court is informed that the meeting is scheduled to be held on 27.01.2022 according to this notice now said to have been received by the writ petitioner showing writ petitioner as the lone noticee.
5. Therefore captioned writ petition is disposed of as closed, the same having become infructuous making it clear that all questions are left open and all the rights of both sides including the private respondents who are not before this Court are left open. This includes the right of the writ petitioner to assail the notice which is said to have been received by him now. Though obvious, it is made clear that this Court has not expressed any view or opinion on the merits of the matter in this order. Consequently, captioned WMPs therein are also disposed of as closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
