The impugned order has been passed on a miscellaneous application filed by the respondent/assessee, seeking extension of the interim order. 4. Mr Sanjay Kumar, learned senior standing counsel, who appears on behalf of the appellant/revenue, says that that the appeals have been rendered infructuous, as the impugned order has worked itself out as the period extended by the Tribunal came to an end on 24.05.2023. 5. Furthermore, we are informed by the learned counsel for the respondent/assessee that a fresh order has been passed, extending the interim order. This order, we are told, was passed on 26.05.2023. 6.
