- Disposal
- Disposed Off
Holding
The writ petition and the interim application were dismissed as infructuous because the main appeal had already been disposed of.
Summary
The petitioner, Swapnil Soma Baidyanath Laha, filed a writ petition (No. 438 of 2020) and an interim application (No. 364 of 2020) before the Bombay High Court. The petitioner’s counsel argued that the main appeal related to the dispute had already been disposed of, rendering the writ petition unnecessary. The Court examined the submission and found that there was no longer any live controversy to be adjudicated. Consequently, the Court held that the writ petition and the interim application were infructuous. Both were therefore dismissed.
