Summary

Rai Raj Construction Pvt. Ltd. filed a civil writ petition before the Patna High Court challenging actions of the State of Bihar and its road construction officials. The petitioner sought relief, but during the hearing, counsel submitted that the writ application had become infructuous. The court examined the submission and found no merit in continuing the proceedings. Consequently, the bench held that the petition could no longer be entertained. The application was therefore disposed of as infructuous, and any pending applications, if any, were also ordered to stand disposed.
