BHAUMIKKUMAR VIJAYBHAI PATELversusUNION OF INDIA

Decided: 14 August 2026
Disposal: DISPOSED AS INFRUCTUOUS
Bench: NIRZAR S DESAI

Holding

The petition is dismissed as infructuous because the passport has been issued, satisfying the petitioner’s grievance.

Summary

Bhaumik Kumar Vijaybhai Patel filed a Special Civil Application before the Gujarat High Court seeking relief against the Union of India, presumably concerning the issuance of his passport. The petitioner’s counsel, Mr. Asit B. Joshi, informed the Court that the passport had subsequently been issued, thereby satisfying the petitioner’s grievance. The Court considered whether the petition remained viable after the issuance of the passport. Concluding that the relief sought was already granted, the Court held that the petition had become infructuous. Accordingly, the Court disposed of the petition without further hearing.
