RESHMA DIGAMBAR MANEversusASHTA MUNICIPAL COUNCIL, THROUGH CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND ORS

Disposal: Disposed Off
Bench: VRUSHALI V JOSHI RANJITSINHA RAJA BHONSALE

Holding

The writ petition was dismissed as infructuous because the petitioner had obtained the NOC.

Summary

The petitioner, Reshma Digambar Mane, filed a writ petition challenging the Ashta Municipal Council's refusal to grant a No Objection Certificate (NOC). The petitioner later obtained the NOC from the council. Upon receipt of the NOC, counsel submitted that the purpose of the petition had been fulfilled, rendering it infructuous. The Court accepted this submission and held that the writ petition could no longer proceed. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of as infructuous, and the related civil application was also dismissed.

Issues considered

                   P.C.:

                   1.      Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has
                   received the NOC from the Ashta Municipal Council.

                   2.      In view of receipt of the said NOC, the writ petition has
                   become infructuous. Hence, the writ petition stands disposed of as
                   infructuous.

                   3.      In view of disposal of the writ petition, the civil application
                   also stands disposed of.
