The petitioner, Pranita Mangesh Lohare, filed a writ petition (No. 11116 of 2018) before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra and others. The petition was pending for an extended period, and the petitioner’s counsel informed the Court that, due to the passage of time, the petition had become infructuous. The Court examined whether the petition could be entertained despite the delay. Finding that the petition was no longer viable, the Court held that it was infructuous.
