Even though an interim order of stay was sought for in respect of the sale proposed, this court not inclined to pass any interim orders. The Writ Petition in all probability has become infructuous. Even otherwise I do not know how a trade union representing the plantation workers can seek to intervene in the recovery proceedings initiated by the 5th respondent-Recovery Officer for recovery of a certified debt. Accordingly, the Writ Petition will stand dismissed. No costs. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
