The petitioners had borrowed loan from respondent No.1 - Shivashree Souhardha Co-operative Limited and committed default in repayment of the same. Hence, an award has been passed against them. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners preferred appeal No.120/2023 before the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal, Bengaluru. Though, an interim order was initially granted, the same has been subsequently vacated by the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal (KAT). Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners have preferred the writ petition. The grievance of the petitioners is in respect of vacation of the interim order by the KAT. This Court on 05.12.2024, passed the following order:- "1. Learned AGA is directed to accept notice for respondent No.2. 2. Issue notice to respondent No.1 returnable by 16.1.2025. 3.

If the amount of Rs.30 lakhs is not paid by 19.12.2024, the interim order would stand automatically vacated. 6. Process fee and copies to be furnished by end of the day tomorrow i.e., 6.12.2024, failing which, the above granted interim order would automatically stand vacated. 7. Re-list on 16.1.2025." 3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for respondent No.1 as well as the learned AGA that the petitioners, subsequent to the interim order, have not deposited the money as ordered. It is also submitted that appeal No.120/2023 has been disposed of by the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal and the appeal has been dismissed. 4. In the light of the dismissal of Appeal No.120/2023, the writ petition has become infructuous. Further, it is noticed that - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:27208 WP No. 33003 of 2024 the petitioners have also not complied with the order of this Court dated 05.12.2024. 5.
