- DISPOSED
Holding
The writ petition was dismissed as infructuous and ordered to stand disposed.
Summary
Bihar Smvedak Sangh, Vaishnavi Enterprises and Manoj Kumar Tripathi filed a civil writ petition before the Patna High Court against the State of Bihar and several officials of the Rural Works Department. The petitioners sought relief (the specific relief is not detailed in the judgment). During the pendency of the case, the petitioners informed the court that the cause of action had become infructuous in the interregnum period. The learned counsel therefore moved that the petition be disposed of as there was no longer any dispute to adjudicate. The Court accepted this submission and ordered the writ petition to stand disposed. No substantive merits were examined, and the petition was dismissed solely on the ground of being infructuous.
Issues considered
