BALU RAMAN PATILversusRAMAN AMBAR PATIL AND OTHERS
- Disposal
- DISPOSED OFF
Holding
The writ petition stands disposed of as infructuous because the underlying civil suit has been disposed of.
Summary
The petitioner, Balu Raman Patil, filed a writ petition (No. 2397 of 2024) before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against respondents including Raman Ambar Patil. During the pendency of the petition, the court was informed that the related regular civil suit (No. 74 of 2021) had already been disposed of. The petitioner argued that the disposal of the civil suit might affect the maintainability of the writ petition. The court examined whether any cause of action remained after the civil suit's disposal. Finding that the civil suit was the substantive basis of the petition and that no other relief could be granted, the court held that the writ petition had become infructuous. Consequently, the petition was disposed of as infructuous.
