Thanks all for the reply.
The link
HowStuffWorks "The Basics of C Programming" also helps stating:
What happens if I forget to delete a block of memory before the program terminates? When a program terminates, the operating system "cleans up after it," releasing its executable code space, stack, global memory space and any heap allocations for recycling. Therefore, there are no long-term consequences to leaving allocations pending at program termination.
