SHRI. RAHUL PRAKASH TANKSALEversusSHASHIKANT SHANKAR TANKSALE THROUGH POA SHRI. ABHAY S. TANKSALE AND ANR

Disposal: Disposed Off
Bench: VRUSHALI V JOSHI

Holding

The petition is dismissed as infructuous because the underlying suit was already disposed of.

Summary

Rahul Prakash Tanksale filed a writ petition challenging a civil dispute with Shashikant Shankar Tanksale. The respondents, represented by counsel Parth Katira, contended that the underlying suit had already been disposed of by the Lok Adalat on 7 May 2022. They argued that this prior disposal rendered the present writ petition infructuous. The Court examined whether the petition could continue in view of the earlier disposal. Finding that the suit's final resolution precluded any further relief, the Court held the petition could not be entertained. Consequently, the petition was dismissed as infructuous.

Issues considered
