DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition was held to be infructuous due to the passage of time and was dismissed.

Summary

Nirmalabai Sunil Bhangare filed a writ petition (No. 6608 of 2018) before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging actions of the Collector, Latur and others. The petitioner sought relief but the court observed that a considerable lapse of time had occurred since the cause of action arose. The judge held that the delay rendered the petition infructuous and that the relief sought could no longer be granted. Consequently, the petition was dismissed as infructuous. The matter was disposed of without any further orders.
