Bench: NIRZAR S DESAI

Holding

The petition is deemed infructuous and is therefore disposed of, with any relief vacated.

Summary

The petitioners, Chaudhary Madevabhai Karsanbhai and others, filed a special civil application before the Gujarat High Court seeking relief against the State of Gujarat and another party. The petition was pending for an extended period. Counsel for the petitioners, Ms. Mamta R. Vyas, submitted that the petition had become infructuous due to the lapse of time. The respondent's counsel, Ms. Foram Trivedi, AGP, did not contest this claim. The Court accepted that the petition was indeed infructuous and consequently disposed of the application, vacating any relief that might have been in the petitioners' favor. No costs were awarded.
