STATE BANK OF BIKANER & JAIPUR vs M/S. MODERN SYNTAX (INDIA) LTD.

The Supreme Court dismissed Civil Appeal No. 6759 of 2001 for non-prosecution as the appeal had become infructuous due to a consent decree. The court vacated any interim orders that may have been in place and stated that there would be no order as to costs. This decision underscores the principle that appeals may be dismissed when they are no longer relevant due to changes in circumstances.
