Bench: HEMANT M PRACHCHHAK

Holding

The petition is disposed of as infructuous.

Summary

The petitioner, Kaustubh Kumar Rameshchandra Patel, filed Special Civil Application No. 4586 of 2024 against the State of Gujarat and others, alleging a grievance that required judicial intervention. The petitioner’s counsel argued that the respondent authority had already taken remedial steps, rendering the grievance moot. The court examined whether the petition retained any operative relief or if it had become moot. Finding that the respondent’s actions satisfied the petitioner’s concerns, the court concluded that the petition no longer had any substantive issue to adjudicate. Consequently, the court disposed of the petition as infructuous and discharged the notice.
