Holding
The writ petition is dismissed as infructuous because the underlying suit has been dismissed.
Summary
The petitioners filed a writ petition challenging a civil matter, but the underlying suit was dismissed on 17 March 2026. The petitioners' counsel argued that the dismissal of the suit rendered the writ petition infructuous. The Court examined whether the petition retained any independent ground for relief after the suit's termination. Finding no such ground, the Court held that the petition could no longer be entertained. Consequently, the writ petition was dismissed as infructuous.
Issues considered
