The petitioner has filed this petition for quashing of the orders dated 4.1.2011 and 30.11.2010 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Jalandhar and Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jalandhar respectively, under the provisions of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. The petitioner has filed this petition when interim directions were issued by the Court in favour of the respondent-wife. Counsel for the petitioner today submits that the case filed by the respondent has been dismissed in default. Accordingly, the interim orders which have been passed and are impugned in the present petition would also go and as such the present petition is rendered infructuous. Counsel for the petitioner prays for liberty to approach the Court again, if application made by the respondent for restoration of the case. The petition is, accordingly, disposed of as having become infructuous. However, the petitioner would be at liberty to revive the petition or to file afresh, in case, the petition filed by the respondent is restored by the Courts below.
