““ * * * It is the function of all appellate- court to render judgments that can be made effective,' and not to give opinions on moot questions or abstract propositions from which no practical results can flow, When it is impossible for the appellate court to undo what has already been done, it wiil not determine the questions litigated in, the court below, but will dismiss the appeal. The Supreme Court, in Pettingill v. Hills, Inc., 199 La. 557 , 6 So.2d 660, 662 , said: “ ‘This principle is one of general application. It has been applied to sales under executory process where injunctive relief is sought and denied and execution of the judgment is' not suspended by the appeal. Unity Industrial Life Ins. Co. v. DeJoie, 197 La. 38 , 200 So. 813 ; Bank of La Fourche v. Barrios, 167 La. 215 , 118 So. 893 ; Ouachita Nat. Bank v. Shell Beach Const. Co., 154 La. 709, 710 , 98 So. 160 .’ ””
