Heard the learned counsel for the appellant and the learned counsel for the State and the learned counsel for private respondents. 2. Ms. Puja Banga, learned Brief Holder for the State has placed on record the response of the Department to the queries formulated by this Court and, in the response, it is stated that the respondent has released the amount of ₹2,74,500/-, retained 2025:UHC:7127-DB 2 earlier, and that the amount was released to the appellant, on 03.07.2025. The instructions are taken on record. 3. In that view of the matter, the appeal, in our considered opinion, is misconceived. 4. Learned counsel for the appellant prays time to secure confirmation regarding the release of the amount. 5. Be that as it may, in the light of the statement made before this Court by the counsel and a copy of the instructions placed before this Court, we are of the opinion that the appeal does not survive for any further consideration. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed as having been rendered infructuous. 6. In the event, the appellant contends that he has not received the amount, it is open for the appellant to approach this Court for recall of the order. (G. NARENDAR, C. J.) (ALOK MAHRA, J.)
