Learned counsel for the appellant fairly submits that in view of the fact that the respondents have not commenced the arbitration proceedings within 90 days from the date of the impugned order, the order has lost its significance and nothing survives for consideration in this appeal. 2. Considering the said submission, we dismiss the appeal as having become infructuous. In view of dismissal of the appeal, pending IAs, if any, do not survive for consideration and accordingly, they stand disposed of.
