In compliance of the order dated 25.10.2010, learned counsel for respondent nos. 1 to 6 has placed on record the requisite affidavit wherein it is stated that the entire decreetal amount of Rs.2,28,227.00 has already been paid to them by bank 2 draft no.1425633, dated 20.7.1998. It thus appears to us that this renders the present appeal infructuous. It, therefore, follows that the appellants are now not required to pay any amount to the claimant(s). In that view of the matter, the appeal is disposed of as having become infructuous. Vinay/ ( S. K. Katriar,J. ) (Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
