3. When the matter is taken up for hearing, Mr.Abdul Saleem, learned counsel appearing for respondents 2 to 6 submitted that in view of fact that 400 KV Alamathy-Manali and 400 KV Manali – NCTPS Stage II feeders have been test charged satisfactorily on 23.07.2017 for a total length of 33 KM and the pipeline has also been energized, nothing survives for adjudication in this writ petition.
