Summary
Meena Devi filed a criminal writ petition before the Patna High Court challenging actions of the State of Bihar and several police officials. The petitioner argued that the relief sought was no longer viable during the pendency of the case. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petition had become infructuous. The Court examined the submission and found that the circumstances indeed rendered the petition ineffective. Consequently, the Court dismissed the petition as infructuous, without addressing any substantive merits. No further orders were made.
