Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: SIDDHESHWAR SUNDARRAO THOMBRE

Holding

The petition is to be disposed of as infructuous.

Summary

The petitioner, Laximan Digambar Randive, filed a writ petition (933/2017) before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief. The petitioner’s counsel later informed the court that the petition had become infructuous. The court considered whether the petition could still be entertained in light of its alleged infructuity. No substantive legal arguments or evidence were presented beyond the claim of infructuity. The court held that a petition that is no longer capable of achieving its purpose is infructuous. Consequently, the court disposed of the petition as infructuous.
