The petitioner has approached this Court with the following prayers:
i) to call for the records leading to Exhibit.P1 Circular issued by the first respondent and quash the same by issuing a writ of certiorari or by issuing any other appropriate writ order or direction;
ii) to issue appropriate orders permitting the petitioners to transport goods to other States ignoring the directions contained in Exhibit.P1 circular.
Iii) to declare that Exhibit.P1 circular issued by the first respondent is ultra vires of the Constitution of India;”
2. Today, it is brought to the notice of this Court that Ext.P1 circular has already been substituted as per circular bearing No.28/2014 whereby the floor value 'Kottadakka & Kaliyadakka' has been modified and reduced from 17.10.2014.
This being the position, nothing survives to be considered in this writ petition and the same stands closed accordingly.
