CHANDRIKABEN RANCHHODBHAI VASAVAversusCOLLECTOR

Decided: 20 January 2026
Disposal: DISPOSED AS INFRUCTUOUS
Bench: HEMANT M PRACHCHHAK

Holding

The petition is infructuous and is therefore disposed of.

Summary

Chandrikaben Ranchhodbhai Vasava filed a Special Civil Application against the Collector and another respondent seeking recovery of an outstanding amount owed to her workman. The petitioner’s counsel argued that the grievance remained unresolved. The respondents contended that the amount had already been paid to the workman and received, thereby extinguishing any claim. The Court examined whether any actionable grievance persisted. Finding that the payment had indeed been made and no further relief was required, the Court held the petition to be infructuous. Consequently, the petition was disposed of and the notice was discharged.

Issues considered

Whether the petitioner’s grievance persists after the alleged payment of the outstanding amount
Whether the Special Civil Application should be dismissed as infructuous

Subjects

infructuous petition
special civil application
