DISPOSED

Holding

The writ application is held to be infructuous and is disposed of.

Summary

The petitioner, GRD RBE RSK JV through its partner Tapan Kumar Singh, filed a civil writ petition before the Patna High Court against the State of Bihar and several officials of the Rural Works Department, as well as a private firm. The petition sought relief, but the petitioner’s counsel later informed the court that the writ application had become infructuous. The court examined whether any relief could still be granted. Finding that the petition was no longer capable of yielding any effective remedy, the court held the application to be infructuous. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of, and any pending applications, if any, were also ordered to stand disposed.

Issues considered

Subjects
