SANDEEP SURESH PATIL AND ANOTHERversusNARENDRA PURUSHOTTAM VISPUTE AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: SIDDHESHWAR SUNDARRAO THOMBRE

Holding

The petition is dismissed as there is nothing left for consideration following the disposal of the related appeal.

Summary

The petitioners filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the respondents. During the pendency of the petition, the petitioners informed the Court that Appeal No. 29 of 2019 before the School Tribunal, Nashik Division, had been disposed of. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that, in view of the disposal of the appeal, there was no substantive relief left to be granted. The Court examined the submission and found that the matter was already finally decided by the Tribunal, leaving no live issue for the writ jurisdiction. Consequently, the Court held that the petition could not proceed and ordered it to be disposed. The judgment reflects the principle that a writ petition must be dismissed when the subject matter has been finally adjudicated elsewhere.
