Decided: 16 March 2026
Disposal: DISPOSED AS INFRUCTUOUS
Bench: NIRZAR S DESAI

Holding

The petition is dismissed as infructuous because the petitioner’s grievance has been redressed.

Summary

The petitioner, Rajeshbhai Laxmanbhai Parmar, filed a special civil application alleging grievance against the State of Gujarat. The respondent, represented by Assistant Government Pleader Mitul Gautam, produced a resumption report indicating that the petitioner had resumed duty on 1 August 2025, thereby satisfying his grievance. The petitioner’s counsel was absent, so the court could not obtain any contrary submission. Relying on the respondent’s statement that the grievance was redressed, the court held that the petition had become infructuous. Consequently, the petition was disposed, with liberty reserved for the petitioner to file a fresh petition if any grievance remains.
