GANESH RAMRAO PAWAR AND ANOTHERversusDNYANESHWAR SURBHAN SARANGDHAR

Disposal
DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition stands disposed of as infructuous.

Summary

The petitioners filed a writ petition (No. 2322 of 2016) in the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad bench, seeking relief against the respondent. After a ten-year lapse, counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petition had become infructuous due to the passage of time. The court considered whether the delay rendered the petition incapable of being entertained. Relying on the principle that a petition which has become moot cannot proceed, the bench held the petition to be infructuous. Consequently, the petition was disposed of without any further orders.

Issues considered

  • Whether the writ petition is infructuous due to the lapse of time

Subjects

  • writ petition
  • infructuous
  • limitation
