Bombay High Court

CITIZEN URDU PRIMARY SCHOOL, THR. ITS PRESIDENT AND ANOTHERversusSHABBIR AHMED BASHEER AHMED TAKE AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: SACHIN S DESHMUKH

Holding

The petition is dismissed as infructuous because it is barred by the lapse of time.

Summary

The Citizen Urdu Primary School, through its president, filed a writ petition (No. 6846 of 2014) in the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, against Shabbir Ahmed Basheer Ahmed Take and others. The petition sought relief, but counsel for the petitioner, Mr. G. R. Syed, submitted that the passage of time had rendered the petition infructuous. The court examined the argument that the delay barred any effective remedy. Relying on the principle that a petition must be timely to be maintainable, the bench held that the petition could no longer be entertained. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of as infructuous, with no substantive merits addressed.

Issues considered

Whether the writ petition is barred by limitation due to the passage of time?
