Bombay High Court

JITENDRA VAIJNATHRAO PATILversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA THROUGH ITS PRINCIPAL SECRETARY AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition is dismissed as infructuous because the impugned order was cancelled.

Summary

Jitendra Vaijnathrao Patil filed a writ petition challenging an order dated 05.06.2026 by the Education Officer that his service was to be absorbed. The petitioner’s counsel submitted a copy of a subsequent order dated 05.08.2026 which cancelled the earlier absorption order. The Court observed that the cancellation rendered the petition moot. Consequently, the Court held that there was no longer any controversy to be adjudicated. The petition was therefore disposed of as infructuous.

Issues considered

Whether the order of service absorption dated 05.06.2026 is valid and enforceable
Whether the subsequent cancellation order dated 05.08.2026 makes the writ petition infructuous
