ASHOK RAOSAHEB WANVEversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: SACHIN S DESHMUKH

Holding

The petition is dismissed as infructuous due to lapse of time.

Summary

Ashok Raosaheb Wanve filed a writ petition (No. 314 of 2014) before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra and others. The Attorney General for the State argued that, due to the passage of time, the matters raised in the petition had become infructuous. The Court examined the submission and found no merit in proceeding further as the issues were no longer viable. Consequently, the Court held that the petition could not be entertained. The writ petition was therefore disposed of as infructuous.
