Summary
Mubarak Rahematulla Maniyar was serving a 24‑year imprisonment and was released on 26 March 2022 after completing his term, including remissions. He filed Criminal Writ Petition No. 416 of 2022 before the Bombay High Court seeking relief. The Respondent State, through its Assistant Public Prosecutor, informed the Court that the petitioner had already been released, rendering the petition infructuous. The Court examined the submission and noted that no further relief could be granted as the sentence had been fully served. Consequently, the Court disposed of the petition as infructuous.
