Bombay High Court

BHIKESING AMRUT PATILversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition is dismissed as infructuous due to the lapse of time.

Summary

The petitioner, Bhikesing Amrut Patil, filed Writ Petition No. 7171 of 2015 before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra and others. The petition was argued by advocates Sachin A. Mane and Prakashsing B. Patil. The court observed that, due to the passage of time, the relief sought could no longer be granted. Consequently, the petition was held to be infructuous. The writ petition was therefore disposed of without any substantive order.

Issues considered

What is the effect of delay (efflux of time) on the maintainability of the writ petition?
