Hence, nothing survives for consideration in this writ petition. In that view of the matter, this Court is passing the following: ORDER i. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous giving liberty to the petitioners to pursue the matter pending before the Debt Recovery Tribunal. ii. All I.As., in the writ petition shall stand closed. BN/List No.: 1 Sl No.: 15 SD/- (LALITHA KANNEGANTI) JUDGE
