ADITYA EDUCATION TRUST THROUGH ITS PRESIDENT SUBHASHCHANDRA MITTHULAL SARDAversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal
DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The writ petition is dismissed as infructuous because no surviving cause of action remains.

Summary

Aditya Education Trust, through its President Subhashchandra Mitthulal Sarda, filed Writ Petition No. 8943 of 2015 in the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging actions of the State of Maharashtra and other respondents. The petitioner sought relief, but during proceedings the petitioner’s counsel indicated that there was nothing left to argue as the cause of action had become moot. The Court examined the submission and found that the petition no longer raised any live issue. Consequently, the Court held the petition to be infructuous and ordered its disposal. The judgment also permitted the petitioner, if necessary, to make a fresh representation before the appropriate authority in the future.
