ORAL JUDGMENT: 1 The appeal is preferred by appellant – original applicant raising exception to the order passed by II Additional District Judge, Beed in Misc. 2 Civil Application No.246/1994 on 31.01.1996. 2 It is needless to go into merits of the controversy involved in the matter. Suffice it to say that the application tendered by appellant seeking custody of minor children was rejected by the trial Court. Instant appeal is directed against said order of rejection of request made by appellant seeking custody of minor children. It is brought to my notice that by passage of time, both children have attained majority, as such, issue involved in the appeal needs no adjudication. Appeal is rendered infructuous by passage of time. 3 Appeal, therefore, stands dismissed. In the facts and circumstances of this case, there shall be no order as to costs.
