Summary
The Aurangabad Municipal Corporation filed two writ petitions (Nos. 10111 and 10119 of 2016) against Avtarsingh Indersingh Sodhi and Kewalsingh Indersingh Sodhi respectively. The petitions were initially not taken on board, but were later admitted. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the matters had become infructuous and there was nothing left for the court to consider. The Court examined the submission and found no remaining cause of action. Consequently, the Court disposed of both writ petitions as infructuous. Any pending civil applications, if any, were also ordered to stand disposed.
