GOPAL IRABA TEMBHURNEversusELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA THR ITS SECRETARY AND OTHERS

Disposal
DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The writ petition was disposed of as infructuous because nothing survived in the petition.

Summary

The petitioner, Gopal Iraba Tembhurne, filed a writ petition challenging actions of the Election Commission of India. During the pendency of the case, subsequent events caused the petition to lose its basis, leaving nothing surviving in the petition. The Court examined the lack of any remaining cause of action. Consequently, the Court held that the petition was infructuous. The writ petition was therefore disposed of.
