Bombay High Court

ANIL MADAM SURYAVANSHIversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA THROUGH ITS SECRETARY AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The writ petition is infructuous and is to be disposed of.

Summary

The petitioners, represented by the legal heirs of the deceased Anil MadaM Suryawanshi, filed a writ petition seeking certain benefits. The petitioners' counsel informed the court that the deceased petitioner had already received all the benefits sought. Consequently, there was no remaining relief to be granted. The court examined whether the petition remained maintainable after the relief was fully granted. Finding that the petition was now moot, the court held it to be infructuous. Accordingly, the writ petition was disposed of.

Issues considered
