1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR -------------------------------------------------------- SPL. APPL. WRIT No. 203 of 2000 UNION OF INDIA & ORS. V/S M/S. MARUTI MILLS PRIVATE LIMITED,BALTRA Mr. KK BISSA, for the appellant / petitioner Mr. ANJAY KOTHARI, for the respondent Date of Order : 6.8.2009 HON'BLE SHRI N P GUPTA,J. HON'BLE SHRI GOVIND MATHUR,J. ORDER ----- This appeal seeks to challenge the judgment of the learned Single Judge dt. 25.2.2000 accepting the writ petition, quashing Annexure-2 dt. 22.12.1999, and directing the present appellants to return the books of accounts, and other documents impounded vide Annexure-2 with liberty to retain the photo copies of the relevant documents and get them authenticated by the petitioner and use the same in future to contradict any entry made by the petitioner in future, in case petitioner tampers with the said books of accounts, or the documents. The appeal was admitted on 7.3.2000, and at the same time prayer for interim stay was rejected. Obviously, therefore, the books of accounts, 2 and other documents must have been returned, and it is informed to us that they have been returned. Since by the impugned order the learned Single Judge had only directed return of the books of accounts and the documents, and did not interfere or interrupt any further proceeding by the Department, and since the documents have been returned, appeal remains only academic, and need not be decided on merits. The appeal is accordingly disposed of. ( GOVIND MATHUR ),J. ( N P GUPTA ),J. /Sushil/
