Bombay High Court

PUSHPALATA MANOHAR KHAMBETEversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: KISHORE C SANT SUSHIL M GHODESWAR

Holding

The petitions were dismissed because the matter had already been decided and no issue remained for the Court to consider.

Summary

The petitioners, Tukaram Dagadu Gaikwad and Pushpalata Manohar Khambete, filed writ petitions (Nos. 11663 and 11666 of 2017) challenging actions of the State of Maharashtra. The petitioners' counsel informed the Court that the substantive issue raised in the petitions had already been decided by a competent authority and was now settled. The Court noted that, in view of this development, there was no longer any controversy or matter requiring adjudication. Consequently, the Court found that there was nothing left to decide on the petitions. The writ petitions were therefore dismissed as nothing survived in them.
