Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: SACHIN S DESHMUKH

Holding

The Court held that the writ petition is infructuous as it has been rendered stale by the passage of time.

Summary

Madhav Yashwant Pawar filed a writ petition (WP 5514 of 2015) before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging actions of Pankaj Janardan Salunke and others. The petitioner’s counsel argued that the petition had become infructuous due to the lapse of time. The court considered whether the passage of time rendered the petition stale and incapable of further relief. Relying on the submission of counsel, the bench found no merit in proceeding with the petition. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of as infructuous.
