Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J.

This writ appeal has become infructuous with passage of time. The writ appellant sought intervention of this court in the wake of prohibition order issued against vending of IMFL during a particular period. That order was issued in connection with the Maramon Convention. Whatever be the legal issues now raised, we do not think that it is necessary for us to speak on any of such issues, which have reduced themselves to be mere academic ones, with passage of time. Hence, without entering on merits, this writ appeal is dismissed.
