The learned counsel for the appellant submits that as per the new liquor policy, license has been renewed in favour of the respondent no.3, which he wants to challenge. The learned counsel for the respondent no.3 did not raise objection to this fact. We have heard the learned counsel for the parties. The matter pertains to the financial year 2009-10 which period has come to an end, the issue involved in this appeal thus becomes academic in nature rather appeal has virtually become infructuous. In view of this, no further adjudication is required to be made. So far as the prayer of the appellant to challenge the new liquor policy is concerned, it goes without saying that he is always at liberty to take up the matter on a new cause of action. With the aforesaid observations, this appeal is dismissed. (M.N.Bhandari)J. (Jagdish Bhalla)C.J. Parmar
