Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: KISHORE C SANT SUSHIL M GHODESWAR

Holding

The petition is dismissed as infructuous and disposed of.

Summary

Shahik Jalil Shahik Chand filed Writ Petition No. 8160 of 2015 in the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra and others. The petition was pending for an extended period, and the petitioner’s counsel informed the Court that the cause of action had become stale. The Court examined whether any substantive issue remained for adjudication. It held that, owing to the efflux of time, the petition had become infructuous and could not be entertained. Consequently, the Court disposed of the petition as infructuous without granting any relief. No further directions were issued.
