Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The Court held that the petition was infructuous and therefore dismissed.

Summary

The petitioners, Sakharm Eknath Chavan and another, filed Writ Petition No. 3339 of 2015 before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the respondents. The petition was argued by Ms. Vaishali S. Swami, assisted by Mr. Y.R. Barahate. The respondents were represented by Mr. Faizal Shaikh, assisted by Mr. A.T. Shaikh Patel. The learned counsel for the petitioners contended that, owing to the passage of time, the matters raised in the petition had become moot. The Court examined whether the petition remained maintainable or had become infructuous. Concluding that the issues were indeed infructuous, the Court disposed of the writ petition.
