Bombay High Court

SAMPAT GANPAT WANVEversusAMBADAS GANPAT VANVE AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

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

Summary

The petitioner, Sampat Ganpat Wanve, filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging actions of the respondents, Ambadas Ganpat Vanve and others. The petition was argued by Advocate Vivek Bhavthankar on behalf of the petitioner, while Advocate S.J. Salunke represented the respondents. The petitioner contended that the petition should be entertained despite the lapse of time. The Court examined whether the delay rendered the petition ineffective. Relying on the principle that undue delay can make a petition infructuous, the Court held that the passage of time had indeed rendered the petition infructuous. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of as infructuous.

Issues considered
