High Court of Gujarat

M/S KRISHNA STEEL AND CROCKERYversusTHE AUTHORIZED OFFICER

Decided: 6 February 2026
Disposal: DISPOSED AS INFRUCTUOUS
Bench: ANIRUDDHA P MAYEE

Holding

The writ petition is dismissed as infructuous.

Summary

M/s Krishna Steel and Crockery & Ors. filed a special civil writ petition before the High Court of Gujarat against the Authorized Officer. The petitioners contended that the reliefs they sought had become moot because the Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal (DRAT), Chennai, holding the charge of DRAT, Mumbai, had already passed an order. The learned counsel for the petitioners highlighted this development and requested the court to consider the petition as infructuous. The court examined the claim that the DRAT order rendered the writ petition unnecessary. Accordingly, the court disposed of the petition, holding it to be infructuous and without further merit.

Issues considered
