Holding

The petition is deemed infructuous and is therefore dismissed.

Summary

Vikas Pandit Patil filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging actions of the State of Maharashtra. The petitioner’s counsel argued that the petition had become infructuous because of the passage of time. The Court examined the submission and found no merit in proceeding further. Consequently, the Court held that the petition could not be entertained. The petition was therefore disposed of as infructuous, and any pending civil applications were also ordered to stand disposed. No substantive merits of the underlying dispute were addressed.

Issues considered
