IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Special Appeal No. 164 of 2009 State of Uttarakhand & another. .……… Appellants Versus Sri Vikram Singh Aswal & another. ………. Respondents Mr. Vinod Nautiyal, Addl. Advocate General for the appellants. Mr. S.S. Chauhan, Standing Counsel (Central Govt.) for respondent No. 2. JUDGMENT Coram: Hon’ble J.S. Khehar, C.J. Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. J.S. KHEHAR, C. J. (Oral) It is not a matter of dispute that the lease, which is subject matter of the controversy raised in Writ Petition No. 1738 of 2007 (M/S), was for a period of three years. It is also not a matter of dispute that when the learned Single Judge disposed of the Writ Petition on 24.04.2008, the lease was subsisting. Learned counsel for the appellants acknowledges that during the pendency of the instant Appeal, the period of three years has since expired. He also acknowledges that the process undergone during the pendency of the Appeal is not reversible. It is, therefore, apparent that the main Appeal, itself, has been rendered infructuous. In view of the above, the instant Appeal is disposed of as having been rendered infructuous. (Tarun Agarwala, J.) (J.S. Khehar, C. J.) 01.12.2009 01.12.2009 G
