5. Learned counsel appearing for respondent I o.3 submits that respondent No.3 is merely an outsourced empl tree and has no role in the subject matter of the writ petition lt is lrrther submitted that respondent No.3 is presenfly pursuing legal 1 rofession in the State of Andhra Pradesh, and therefore, no (ause of action survives against him Hence, learned counsel pr i ys that the writ petition be disposed of appropriately.

7. The grievance of the petitioner, as set out ir he writ petition, pertains to the alleged inaction of the responderr t authorities in considering and acting upon his representation dil ed O6.1j.2017. However, it is seen that considerable time has e i psed since the filing of the writ petition, and there has been ro subsequent representation or follow-up action by the petitionr:t This, coupled with the submission of the learned Assistant Gover rment pleader, clearly indicates that the petitioner has not pursuerl the matter and has effectively abandoned the cause.

8. lt is a settled principle that where the prr tioner fails to pursue his grievance or the cause of action cees _5s to exist by efflux of time, the writ petition becomes infructuous tSee: lJnion of .lndia v. Sushil Kumar Modi, (1998) 8 SCC 661, K.K Bhaila v. Stgte, 3 of M.P., (2006) 3 SCC 581"). The Court, however, may preserve the right of the petitioner to approach the competent forum again if the cause revives or a fresh grievance arises. 9 ln these circumstances, and without expressing any oplnlon on the merits of the representation, this court deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, reserving liberty to the petitioner to take recourse to appropriate remedies available in law, if the cause of action still survives or fresh grounds arise in future'

10. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of' There shall be no order as to costs Miscellaneous Petitions, pending if any, shall stand closed SD/ -T.
