Summary

Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the passage of time rendered the petition infructuous. The Court considered the claim of infructuity and found that the petition could no longer be entertained. Consequently, the writ petition was dismissed as infructuous and any accompanying civil applications were also disposed.
