(Judgment of the Court was delivered by M.M.SUNDRESH, J) The writ appeal has been preferred against the order of the learned Single Judge dated 05.12.2016, passed in W.P.(MD) No.23679 of 2016.
2.Heard the learned counsel appearing for the appellant and the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents and also perused the materials available on record.
3.As rightly submitted by the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents, in view of the subsequent developments nothing survives for consideration in this Writ Appeal. That is the reason why the learned counsel appearing for the appellant in the connected writ appeal in W.A.(MD) No.85 of 2017 submitted that the said Writ Appeal may be dismissed as withdrawn as the matter has become infructuous in view of the subsequent order of the first respondent dated 05.04.2017, restoring the status of original Poojari by name P.M.Chellapandi.
4.The cause of action for the writ petition has arisen because the said Poojari P.M.Chellapandi was suspended. Therefore, his suspension created cause of action for the appellant. Now, the original Poojari Chellapandi has succeeded through the proceedings dated 05.04.2017. Hence, nothing survives for adjudication in this appeal. If the appellant is aggrieved, he has to challenge the order dated 05.04.2017.
5.With the above said observation, this Writ Appeal is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are also dismissed.
