Holding

A writ petition that has become infructuous because of the passage of time must be disposed of.

Summary

The petitioner, OmpraKash Balajirao Sahane, filed Writ Petition No. 359 of 2015 before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging certain actions of the respondents. The petition was pending for an extended period. Counsel for the petitioner, Mr. M. A. Kulkarni, submitted that the passage of time had rendered the petition infructuous. The Court considered the submission that the relief sought could no longer be granted due to the lapse of time. Accordingly, the Court held that the petition could not be entertained further. The petition was therefore disposed of as infructuous.
