Summary

Shaikh Mubashiruddin Vazriddin filed a contempt petition (No. 173 of 2011) before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, against the State of Maharashtra and others. During the proceedings, the petitioner's counsel submitted that the petition had become infructuous. The Court considered whether a petition that is no longer capable of being pursued should continue.
