In view of the explanation given in the application, though there is no representation on behalf of the petitioners, this Court does not find any substantial reason to keep the main petition pending for any longer.

Main Case For the reasons stated above, the petition is ordered to be disposed of having been rendered infructuous. However, no one is there to assist the Court, later on if either of the party finds any error regarding the fact recorded above, it will be open for such party to move an appropriate application for recalling/correction of the today’s order.
