JAYSHREE MAROTI HAKEversusSHANTABAI DNYANOBA HAKE AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: SACHIN S DESHMUKH

Holding

The petition is held to be infructuous and is disposed.

Summary

Jayshree Maroti Hake filed a writ petition (No. 8567 of 2015) in the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, against Shantabai Dnyanoba Hake and others. The petition remained pending for an extended period, spanning over a decade. Respondent No.1, through counsel Mr. Shailendra S. Gangakhedkar, argued that the passage of time had rendered the petition infructuous. The Court examined the submission and found no merit in continuing the proceedings given the delay. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition as infructuous, effectively terminating the suit.

Issues considered

Whether the writ petition should be dismissed as infructuous due to the lapse of time?
