Bombay High Court

ARUN SATYAPREM MATE AND OTHERSversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA THR PRINCIPAL SECRETARY AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition is dismissed as there is no longer any relief to be granted.

Summary

The petitioners sought a writ directing the State and a university to issue a confirmation letter. The university's counsel assured that the confirmation letter would be issued within two days. In light of this assurance and a prior decision in Writ Petition No.6135 of 2025, the Court found that no relief remained to be granted. Consequently, the Court disposed of the petition. The dismissal was based on the absence of any surviving cause of action.

Issues considered

Whether the petition should be dismissed on the ground that the relief sought has been satisfied by the university's undertaking.
