Decided
Disposal
DISPOSED

Holding

The application is infructuous and must be disposed of.

Summary

The petitioner, Reeta Verma, filed a representation before the Patna Municipal Corporation which was subsequently disposed of. She then approached the Patna High Court seeking relief, contending that the order of the Writ Court had been complied with. The learned counsel for the petitioner argued that since the representation was disposed, the Writ Court's order stood complied with. The Court observed that the compliance of the Writ Court's order rendered the present application moot. Consequently, the Court held that the application was infructuous and ordered its disposal.
