Holding

Summary

The petitioner filed a writ petition challenging a matter that was already pending in a suit. The respondent argued that the suit had been disposed of, leaving no issue for the writ petition. The court examined whether the petition retained any relevance after the suit's disposal. Finding that the suit's disposal rendered the petition moot, the court held that there was nothing left to adjudicate. Consequently, the writ petition was dismissed as infructuous.
