Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: KISHORE C SANT SUSHIL M GHODESWAR

Holding

The Court held that the petitions are infructuous and therefore cannot be entertained.

Summary

The petitioners filed two writ petitions (Nos. 4311/2016 and 4312/2016) before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench. The petitioners' counsel informed the Court that, due to the passage of time, the petitions had become infructuous. The Court examined whether the petitions could still be entertained despite the lapse of time. Finding that the petitions were no longer viable, the Court held that no relief could be granted. Consequently, both writ petitions were disposed of as infructuous.

PER COURT :-

1.       The learned advocate for the petitioner informs that, by

efflux of time, the petitions have become infructuous.              Hence,

nothing survives in the petitions.


2.       In view of the same, both the writ petitions stand disposed

of as infructuous.
