TRIAMBAK KISAN RANDHAVANE THROUGH ITS POWER OF ATTORNEY HOLDER JANARDHAN TRIAMBAK RANDHAWANEversusAPPASAHEB BHIKAJI NAVALE

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: VAISHALI PATIL JADHAV

Holding

The writ petition was held to be infructuous and was disposed of.

Summary

The petitioner, Triambak Kisan Randhavane, filed a writ petition challenging a matter that was concurrently pending in a regular civil suit (No. 883/2012) before the 3rd Joint Civil Judge, Junior Division, Rahata. During the pendency of the writ petition, the civil suit was disposed of on 28 August 2017. The petitioner’s counsel argued that the disposal of the civil suit rendered the writ petition moot. The Court examined whether any relief could still be claimed after the underlying suit’s disposal. Finding that no issue remained, the Court held the writ petition infructuous and ordered its disposal.
