Bench: SANJAY A DESHMUKH

Holding

The applications for stay are dismissed as infructuous.

Summary

The Godavari Khore Marathwada Irrigation Development Corporation filed several applications for stay of proceedings in 2010, which remained pending for about fifteen years. No parties appeared for the applicant, and the respondent was represented by Additional Government Pleader S. G. Sangle. The Court observed that there was no justification for the prolonged delay in hearing these applications. Consequently, the Court held that the applications had become infructuous due to the inordinate delay. The applications for stay were therefore disposed of as infructuous.
