Bombay High Court

ABHIJIT UTTAMSA CHATANKARversusKALPANA ABHIJIT CHATANKAR

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The writ petition stands disposed as there is nothing left to adjudicate after the disposal of the underlying marriage petition.

Summary

The petitioner filed a writ petition (No.1853 of 2018) challenging an order dated 09 November 2017 that was passed in Hindu Marriage Petition No.65/2016 before the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Basmatnagar, Hingoli. The petitioner sought relief on the basis that the earlier order was erroneous. The High Court examined the report of the Resource Personnel, which indicated that the Hindu Marriage Petition itself had been fully disposed of on 30 April 2019. Since the marriage petition was already concluded, there was no pending relief or issue left for the writ petition to address. Consequently, the Court held that the writ petition could not proceed and ordered it to stand disposed. The judgment was delivered by Justice Vaishali Patil‑Jadhav on 25 August 2026.
