             PER COURT :
             1.       Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the matter is

             already settled and, therefore, nothing survives for consideration in the

             present petition.


             2.       In view thereof, the Writ Petition is disposed of as infructuous.



                                                         [ SIDDHESHWAR S. THOMBRE ]
