Decided
Disposal
DISPOSED

Holding

The writ application is disposed of as having become infructuous.

Summary

J.D. Healthcare, represented by Shyama Kumari, filed a civil writ petition before the Patna High Court against the State of Bihar and several health officials. The petitioner alleged a grievance that, during the pendency of the writ, had already been remedied by the respondents. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the relief sought was no longer required and the petition had become infructuous. The Court examined the submission and found no need to entertain a petition where the cause of action has been satisfied. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ application as infructuous and ordered that any pending applications, if any, also stand disposed.

Issues considered

  • Whether the writ petition is infructuous because the petitioner’s grievance has already been redressed

Subjects

  • civil writ jurisdiction
  • infructuous petition
  • relief already granted
  • Patna High Court
  • health sector
