Bombay High Court

LAXMAN JAYWANT KOLHEversusMATHARDEV ASHRU KATE AND ORS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: SACHIN S DESHMUKH

Holding

The petition is rendered infructuous due to the passage of time and is therefore disposed.

Summary

Petitioner Laxman Jaywant Kolhe filed writ petition No. 3775 of 2013 before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad bench, challenging the actions of respondents Mathardev Ashru Kate and others. The petition sought relief, but the petitioner later contended that the passage of time had rendered the petition infructuous. Learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Narayan B. Narwade, submitted that the petition could no longer be entertained due to the lapse of time. The bench, after considering the submission, held that the petition was indeed rendered infructuous. Consequently, the court disposed of the writ petition as infructuous without addressing the merits. No statutes or precedents were cited in the decision.

Issues considered

Whether the writ petition is maintainable despite the lapse of time?
