Disposed Off

Holding

The petition is dismissed as infructuous due to the passage of time.

Summary

The petitioner, Sudarshan Vishwas Patil, filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court against Wasim Sayyed and other officials. The petitioner’s counsel submitted that the petition had become infructuous because of the lapse of time. The Court accepted this submission. No substantive merits of the dispute were examined. Consequently, the Court disposed of the petition without further hearing. The dismissal was based solely on procedural lapse rather than on the substantive claims.

Issues considered

  • Whether the writ petition is maintainable despite the lapse of time?

Subjects

  • limitation
  • writ petition
  • procedural dismissal
  • civil appellate jurisdiction
