P.C.:
In terms of order dated 10th October 2017, notice was issued to the applicant which is returned unserved with remark “left”. It appears to us that the applicant is not interested in prosecuting the reference which was made on the basis of application made by it. Hence, the reference is returned without answering the same. However, the question referred is kept open. The reference shall be treated as disposed of.
