[Order of the court was made by M.M.SUNDRESH,J.] The Prayer sought in this Writ Petition no longer survives. The plea for which, consent was sought for, expired long ago. Hence, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. No costs.

2. We make it clear that the dismissal of the Writ Petition will not stand in the way of the Petitioner to file a fresh Application, if so desired.

                                                                     [M.M.S.,J.]    [T.K.R.,J.]
