- Disposal
- DISPOSED OFF
Holding
The writ petition is infructuous and is therefore disposed of.
Summary
The petitioners filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra and others. The respondents contended that the regular civil suit concerning the same matter had been finally decided, leaving no issue for the court to consider. The court examined whether any relief could still be granted in the writ petition after the civil suit's conclusion. Finding that the civil suit's final decree resolved the dispute, the court held that the writ petition was infructuous. Consequently, the petition was disposed of, and any pending civil applications, if any, were also dismissed.
