Holding
The writ petition is infructuous and is disposed of because the underlying civil suit was settled by compromise.
Summary
The Latur Municipal Corporation filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging actions of the respondents. While the petition was pending, the related regular civil suit (No. 543 of 2014) was settled by compromise on 12 December 2020. The court noted that the compromise extinguished the substantive dispute underlying the writ petition. Consequently, there was no remaining cause of action for the court to adjudicate. The judge therefore held the writ petition to be infructuous and ordered its disposal.
