Counsel for the petitioner states that nothing survives for consideration in the present petition as the patent has been abandoned long back. Even the jurisdiction to hear the present petition has since been transferred to the Appellate Board in terms of notifications dated 2nd April, 2007 and 3rd April, 2007 issued by the Central Government in exercise of powers under section 117G of the Patents Act, 1970. 2. The appropriate course however, is to direct the office to forthwith transfer the record to the concerned Appellate Board, who in turn will have to decide the controversy as to whether the petition survives for consideration or not. Office to take steps to transfer the record to the appellate court forthwith in any case not later than two weeks from today. Ordered accordingly. (A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.)
