RFA No. 426/2004 10.3.2009 Present: Mr. Jeevesh Sharma, vice counsel for the appellant. Mr. Shashi Shirshoo, Advocate for the respondent. Respondent Smt. Findi Devi filed suit for maintenance under Section 18 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, which was decreed in terms of the judgment and decree dated 7th October, 2004, passed by District Judge Kinnaur at Rampur Bushahr being Civil Suit No. 3 of 2002 titled Smt. Findi Devi versus Sh. Mohan Singh. In the present appeal said judgment and decree is under challenge. It is now stated at Bar that respondent Smt. Findi Devi has now died during the pendency of the present appeal. Hence the present appeal has become infructuous as the right to sue does not survive. Keeping in view the subsequent developments the learned counsel for the appellant does not press the appeal as having become infructuous. The appeal is disposed of as such, so also pending application. (Sanjay Karol), Judge. March 10, 2009 (PK)
