Bombay High Court

RAMESH DATTATRAYA BHAGWATversusPANDURANG YASHWANT EKAND AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: ABHAY S WAGHWASE

Holding

The writ petition is abated and therefore disposed of.

Summary

Petitioner Ramesh Dattatraya Bhagwat filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, against Pandurang Yashwant Ekand and others. During the hearing, counsel for the petitioner, appearing via video conference, informed the court that, according to telephonic information, both the petitioner and the respondents had died. The petitioner sought disposal of the petition on the ground of abatement. The court considered whether the death of the parties renders the writ petition abated under procedural law. Finding no substantive issue remaining and noting the death of all parties, the court held that the petition could not proceed. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of as abated.

Issues considered
