JAMIR KUESHI DADAMIYA KURESHIversusTHE UNION OF INDIA AND ANOTHER

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

Holding

The petition is deemed infructuous and is therefore dismissed.

Summary

The petitioner, Jamir Kueshi Dadamiya Kureshi, filed Writ Petition No. 4703 of 2018 before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the Union of India and another party. The petition was pending for an extended period, and the petitioner’s counsel informed the Court that, due to the efflux of time, the petition had become infructuous. The Court examined whether a petition that has become infructuous can continue to be entertained. It held that a petition which is no longer capable of achieving its intended relief due to lapse of time must be dismissed. Consequently, the Court disposed of the petition as infructuous.
