Disposal
DISPOSED OFF

Holding

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

Summary

The petitioner, Rafiq Yusuf Sayyed, filed a writ petition (No. 1871 of 2019) against Bhimsingh Gulabsingh Thakur in the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench. The petition was pending for several years. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that, due to the passage of time, the petition had become infructuous. The Court considered whether the delay rendered the petition ineffective. Relying on the principle that a petition may be dismissed if it becomes moot because of elapsed time, the Court disposed of the writ petition as infructuous.

Issues considered

  • Whether the writ petition is barred or rendered infructuous by the lapse of time?

Subjects

  • writ petition
  • lapse of time
  • infructuous
  • civil procedure
