Subsequent to the passing of the aforesaid order, the appellant has settled the entire dispute with respondent No.1, who has already vacated the suit premises and has occupied another space, under the subsequent independent arrangement between the parties. In the application (I.A. NO.5/2013 in SLP(C) NO.27519/2008) filed on behalf of appellant for seeking permission to file additional documents, it has been brought to our notice that the aforesaid suit in which the interim order had been passed was actually dismissed on 28th June, 2012.
