1. Mr. Sibal, the learned senior Counsel for the appellant submits that the notifications in question, pertaining to the location of the stone-crushers, which are the subject matter of the present civil appeal have been superseded by fresh notifications which have been issued by the State of Haryana. In view of this, these appeals have become infructuous.
2. He further states that the new notifications have been challenged in C.W.P. Nos. 17168/98 and 12919/99 being in the nature of public interest litigation relating to the stone-crushers are pending in the High Court of Punjab and Haryana and implementation of the notification has been stayed.
