Mr. Ijaz Ahmed, advocate for the petitioner.

Pursuant to our earlier order I.O. is in attendance and submits that FIR bearing No.ST/DD-B/01/2014-15/24 dated 19.01.2015 has been quashed by the Special Judge, Customs and Taxation, against which the department has not preferred any further appeal or remedy. In the circumstances, this petition has served its purpose and has become infructuous, as the impugned notice under section 37 of the Sales Tax Act, 1999 was based on this very FIR. Accordingly, this petition, along with pending application, is disposed of, whereas the respondents are directed to conduct in accordance with law and/or shall not cause any harassment to the petitioner. In so far as the prayer clause (iii) is concerned, the petitioner is at liberty to challenge the same in appropriate proceedings. Petition is disposed of in the above terms with all pending applications.
