Holding

The petition was dismissed as infructuous due to the lapse of time.

Summary

The petitioner filed a writ petition challenging a no‑confidence motion passed in 2013. The petition was filed after a considerable delay. The Court observed that the passage of time had rendered the petition infructuous. Consequently, the petition could not be entertained on its merits. The writ petition was therefore disposed of as infructuous.
