Holding

Since the petitioner’s name was included in the Shalarth ID, the petition’s purpose was fulfilled and it was dismissed as infructuous.

Summary

The Hindustani Education Society filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief. The petitioners submitted a list dated 01.07.2026 showing that petitioner No.3's name had been entered in the Shalarth ID, marked for identification. The court held that the inclusion of the name fulfilled the purpose of the petition. Consequently, the petition was deemed no longer necessary. The writ petition was therefore disposed of as infructuous.
