The Karnataka High Court dismissed Writ Appeal No. 4487 of 2013 filed by M/s Hasan Hajee & Company (partnership firm) against the Union of India (Ministry of Shipping), the Chairman of the Tariff Authority for Major Ports, and the Chairman of New Mangalore Port Trust. The appellant sought to set aside the order dated 28 June 2013 in Writ Petitions 34491/2011 and 34874/2011. The Court observed that due to the efflux of time the issue had become academic, though it may be agitated again if circumstances arise, and consequently disposed of the appeal without further order.
