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

Holding

The petition is infructuous and is therefore disposed of.

Summary

The petitioners filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court seeking relief, presumably related to compensation. The petitioners later informed the court that they had already received and accepted the compensation. The court examined whether the petition remained maintainable after the relief had been granted. Finding that the petition had become infructuous, the court held that there was no longer any cause of action to entertain. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of as infructuous.
