ORAL JUDGMENT
(PER: HON'BLE MR. VIBHU BAKHRU, CHIEF JUSTICE)

2. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed as having become infructuous.
3. In view of the above, the learned counsel appearing for the respondent withdraws the connected complaint. The complaint is dismissed as withdrawn.
4. Pending application in the appeal also stands disposed of.
