1. 1. Today, this matter has come up for hearing.

In view of the said fact, the present Misc. Application has become infructuous and hence, appropriate order may be passed to dispose of the present Misc. Application.

4. 4. In this context, it would be pertinent to refer to the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of **Shipping Corporation of India Ltd. V/s. Machado Brothers & Others, 110(2004) DLT 649 (SC)** wherein it has been held as under:
*"For the reasons stated above, we are of the opinion that continuation of a suit which has become infructuous by disappearance of the cause of action would amount to an abuse of the process of the court and*

*interest of justice requires such suit should be disposed of as having become infructuous."*
1. 5. Considering the submissions made by the Ld. Counsel for the Respondent and taking into account the purshis filed by the Respondent at Ex.R/5, as such no cause of action survives to continue the proceedings of the present M.A, therefore, in the interest of justice, this Tribunal is inclined to accept the submission of the Respondent to dispose of the present M.A.
2. 6. In view of the aforesaid discussion and without commenting on the merits of the case, present M.A. No.22/2023 stands disposed of, with no order as to cost.
