The Court dismissed the writ petitions as infructuous due to the passage of time.
Summary
United India Insurance Co. Ltd. filed two writ petitions in 2015 against Rakhma (wife of Ashok Chavan) and Pramila (wife of Dattu Jagtap) respectively. The petitions remained pending for over ten years. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the long passage of time rendered the petitions infructuous. The Court examined the submission and found no merit in proceeding further due to the delay. Consequently, both writ petitions were disposed of as infructuous.
