The Hon'ble High Court vide its order dated 8 th May, 2007 issued notice to the Respondents. However, the matter remained pending before the Hon'ble High Court to decide the same.

2. Vide order dated 14th December, 2013, the Hon'ble High Court in compliance of the directions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court contained in the judgment in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 50/1998 (Bhopal Gas Peedith Mahila Udyog Sangathan & Ors.

3. When the matter came before this Tribunal on 4th February, 2014 after being registered as O.A. No. 07/2014, this Tribunal directed issuance of notice to the Applicant as well as to the Respondents. The matter has been listed today after service of notices upon the Respondents.

4. The Tribunal received a letter dated 17th February, 2014 from the Director of the Applicant's company Sh. Mahender addressed to the Registrar of the NGT Central Zone Bench, Bhopal in which it has been stated that the Director of the Applicant's company namely Inderchand Jain, who filed the writ petition, has since expired and a copy of his death certificate issued by the Registrar, Births & Deaths, Beawar, District Ajmer recording the death of Inderchand Jain on 29th January, 2010 has also been filed.

5. In the aforesaid letter it has also been stated that the unit of the Respondent No. 3 M/s J.G. Micros has been closed down and the production has also been stopped.

6. We have considered the aforesaid letter as M.A. No. 115/2014 and in view of the above we do not deem it necessary to proceed with the matter and accordingly the O.A. 07/2014 stands disposed of having become infructuous.

7. However, liberty is granted to the Applicant or any other persons that in the event of the said unit re-starting or commencing its production and if there is any grievance on that account, the Applicant or any other person may approach this Tribunal for appropriate relief.

8. In the above terms, this application stands disposed of along with M.A. No. 115/2014.
