8. Dasti under the signatures of the Court Master." Learned senior advocate appearing for the appellantstates that he is impugning the order passed in lA. No. 9239/2018 as well as enforcement application. In lA No. 9239/2018, as per the impugned order was withdrawn, as not pressed by the appellant and accordingly was disposed of. The appellant, therefore, cannot now challenge this order. Paragraph 6 and[7] oftheimpugned order deal with the direction • given in the enforcement application, hsz filed by the respondent for enforcement ofthe award dated 6"" May, 2016. The order records the / Q concession made on behalf of the appellant. On being questioned, learned senior advocate for the appellant on instructions states that there is no stay against enforcement of the Award, subject matter of the enforcement application. LA. No. 9239/2018 was predicated in the NITI AAYOG Circulars, and as noticed above was withdrawn. In the-aforesaid circumstances, we do not find any reason to interfere with the statement made by the counsel on behalf of the appellant asrecorded in paragraph 6. The appeal is misconceived and is dismissed. No costs.
