Bombay High Court

DIVISIONAL TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT MSRTC AND ANRversusSHRI GORAKH JALINDER KALKUMBHE

Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The writ petition was disposed of as infructuous because the main proceedings had already been concluded by the Industrial Court.

Summary

The petitioners, Divisional Traffic Superintendent M.S.R.T.C., Solapur and another, filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Kolhapur Circuit Bench, challenging an order affecting Shri Gorakh Jalinder Kalkumbhe. The petition alleged that the relief sought was still required. During the hearing, counsel for the petitioners informed the Court that the substantive dispute had already been resolved by the Industrial Court. Consequently, the petition was deemed infructuous because the main proceedings were disposed of. The Court, after noting the petition's lack of remaining purpose, ordered its disposal. The writ petition was therefore dismissed as infructuous.
