It appears that during the pendency of this petition this order was not stayed. By afflux of time, therefore, the petition has become infructuous. The period of disqualification also being over long back no useful purpose will be served for deciding the issues arising in this petition. The petition is disposed of as having become infructuous. Rule is discharged. No order as to costs. (Akil Kureshi, J.) smita/
