              PER COURT :-


              1.              The learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the

              original suit is kept for final arguments and hence, nothing survives in

              the petition.



              2.              In view of the same, the present petition is disposed of.




                                                          (SIDDHESHWAR S. THOMBRE, J.)
