Holding
The writ petition is infructuous and is dismissed.
Summary
The Central Warehousing Corporation filed a writ petition (No. 10314 of 2018) in the Bombay High Court against Kaumudi P. Kothari and others. The petition sought relief pending the outcome of a related civil suit. During the hearing, counsel for the petitioner informed the court that the underlying suit had been disposed of. The court considered that the disposal of the suit rendered the writ petition moot and without any operative relief to grant. Consequently, the court held that the petition was infructuous. The writ petition was therefore dismissed.
Issues considered
- Whether a writ petition becomes infructuous and liable to be dismissed when the substantive suit on which it is based has been disposed?
Subjects
- writ petition
- infructuous
- civil appellate jurisdiction
- suit disposal
- procedural law
