(e) The entire basis of initiation of proceedings under Section 148 of the IT Act was for the reason that the Petitioner was not notified under Section 10(46) and since the CBDT has not granted the exemption under Section 10(46) of the IT Act from 01.06.2011, the prayer sought by the Petitioner in the subject writ petition has therefore become infructuous." In light of the memo, petitions are dismissed as having become infructuous. Sd/- JUDGE
