Bombay High Court

JANARDHAN NIVRUTTI DAKEversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition is held to be infructuous and is therefore disposed.

Summary

Janardhan Nivrutti Dake filed a writ petition (No. 9621 of 2014) before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief. The petitioner argued that the passage of time had rendered the issues in the petition infructuous. The court examined the claim and considered whether the petition remained maintainable despite the lapse of time. Relying on the principle that a petition becomes infructuous when the subject matter loses relevance due to delay, the court found no merit to continue the proceedings. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of as infructuous.
