Holding

The writ petition was disposed of as infructuous, with no further consideration required.

Summary

The petitioners filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the respondents. During the hearing, the petitioners' counsel informed the court that, due to the passage of time, the subject matter of the petition had become infructuous and there was nothing left for the court to consider. The court accepted this submission and found no remaining cause of action. Consequently, the court disposed of the writ petition without addressing any substantive merits. The judgment was delivered by Justice Sachin S. Deshmukh on 22 July 2026.
