A Metal-Disordered Mott insulator-Metal heterostructure is studied at\nhalf-fiiling using unrestricted Hartree Fock method. The corresponding clean\nsystem has been shown to be an insulator for any finite on site correlation.\nInterestingly we find that introduction of explicit disorder induces a\nmetal-insulator transition at a critical value of disorder. The critical value\ncorresponds to the point at which disorder nullifies the effect of onsite\ncorrelation. The wavefunctions are found to delocalize by increasing disorder,\nrendering the system metallic.\n
