Holding
The petitions were held to be infructuous and were disposed of accordingly.
Summary
The Samaki Mata Shikshan Prasarak Mandal filed writ petitions (Nos. 3565 and 3619 of 2017) before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the respondents. The petitioners argued that the matters were still pending and required adjudication. The respondents contended that a considerable lapse of time had occurred since the filing of the petitions. The Court observed that the passage of time had rendered the petitions infructuous, meaning no effective relief could be granted. Consequently, the Court disposed of both writ petitions as infructuous.
Issues considered
- Whether the writ petitions remain maintainable despite the lapse of time since their filing
Subjects
- writ petition
- infructuous
- limitation period
