Bombay High Court

SHRI. RAJARAM GANGARAM PARDESHIversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ORS

Decided: 4 March 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off
Bench: AMIT BORKAR

Holding

The petition is infructuous because the no‑confidence motion proceedings are concluded, leaving no matter for adjudication.

Summary

The petitioners filed a writ petition arising out of the proceedings of a no‑confidence motion that took place in 2014. The petition sought relief from the High Court of Bombay. The Court examined whether any issue remained for adjudication given that the no‑confidence motion had already been concluded. It held that the underlying proceedings were complete and therefore there was nothing left to be decided. Consequently, the writ petition was declared infructuous and disposed of without any costs.

Issues considered

Whether the writ petition is maintainable when the underlying no‑confidence motion proceedings have been concluded
Whether any relief can be granted in a petition that is rendered moot by the finality of the original proceedings
