The writ petitioner, South India Road Milk Tanker Owners Association, filed this writ petition challenging the order of the second respondent issued in reference No.3348/M3/03 dated 20.12.2003, and for a direction to the respondents to continue to engage the petitioner's Milk Tanker Lorries for transporting the milk to the milk producers Union.
2. The relationship between the writ petitioner and the respondents are more or less on contractual basis and the conditions for transporting the milk through the contractors are revised from time to time and in accordance with the needs of the people.
3. The writ petition filed during the year 2003 and the revision of tariff conditions of contractor had undergone many changes. Hence, the grounds raised in this writ petition deserve no further adjudication and consequently, this Court is of the view that after a lapse of 14 years, the grounds raised need not be considered and if any grievances still persist, it is left open to the writ petitioner to seek appropriate remedy under law. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed. However, no order as to costs. Consequently connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
