ORAL ORDER

Learned counsel for the petitioner has filed memo dated 25.07.2026 seeking for disposal of the petition. The memo reads as under:

"

1.

The petitioner has filed the present writ petition challenging the impugned notice/letters dated 19.6.2023 as per Annexure-C bearing F No. DGGI/INT /INTL/331/Inv-O/o-DD DGGI-RU-Mangaluru and letter dated 13.7.2023 Annexure D bearing F No. DGGI / INT/INTL/331/Inv-0/oDD-DGGI-RU-Mangaluru/384, both issued by the 2nd respondent.

2.

In the meanwhile, the authorities were insisting upon payment of GST and the proceedings were to be concluded despite all the above including pendency of writ petition before this Hon'ble Court. The authority however has passed a final order on 22.04.2024 in file No.GEXCOM/ADJN/GST/DCAC/907/2023 TECH-CGST /DIV/MYS (R) (No.MYS-GST-000-Mysuru Rural HS 06/2024-25) as per Annexure-F filed along with the IA for Stay. HC-KAR

CNR: KAHC010416082023 NC: 2026:KHC:40293 WP No. 17882 of 2023

3.

The petitioner had challenged the above mentioned order before Additional Commissioner (Appeals), Mysuru bearing Orders-In-Appeal No: MYS- ADC/JC(A)-72/2025-26-GST, the appellate authority has allowed the appeal vide its order dated 19.06.2025 by setting aside the impugned order under challenge in this writ petition as evident from the copy of the order marked as Document No.

1.

Hence, the prayer sought for in IA No.1/2024 and also the prayer sought in WP.No.17882/2023 does not survive for consideration. The writ petition may kindly be disposed of as having become infructuous. It is requested and prayed accordingly."

2.

The respondent does not dispute the factual aspect of the matter.

Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed as having become infructuous. (M.G.S. KAMAL) JUDGE
