Bombay High Court

SWATI DEEPAK GUJARversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA THR SECRETARY AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition was dismissed as infructuous because the petitioner had already been appointed to the post of Aasha Swayam Sevika.

Summary

Swati Deepak Gujar filed a writ petition challenging her appointment, alleging grievance against the State of Maharashtra. The petition sought relief concerning the validity of her posting as an Aasha Swayam Sevika. The High Court examined the petition and found that the petitioner had already been appointed to the post in question. Consequently, the court held that there was no remaining grievance to adjudicate. The petition was therefore dismissed as infructuous, and no further orders were made.
