( 1 ) A notification was issued on 14-1-1995 under the provisions of the unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 by the appellant declaring the respondent as an unlawful association which would become effective on confirmation under Section 4 of the Act and be in force for a period of two years. The declaration made by the Government was required to be considered by a Judge of the High Court who constituted a Tribunal for confirmation under Section 4 of the Act. ( 2 ) THE Tribunal after considering the grounds leading to the notification dated 14-1-1995 declaring the Vishwa Hindu Parishad as an unlawful association under the said Act cancelled the same. Against the said order this appeal has been preferred. ( 3 ) EVEN if the notification had been confirmed by the Tribunal it would have been effective for a period of two years. The Tribunal had made the order on 20-6-1995. We think no useful purpose would be served by pursuing the appeal any further as such period has already elapsed. ( 4 ) THE appeal is dismissed as having become infructuous with no order as to costs.
