Holding
The petition was disposed as infructuous.
Summary
Petitioners Rupesh Jitan Singh and another filed Writ Petition No. 996 of 2019 against the State of Maharashtra and five other respondents seeking certain reliefs. The respondents argued that, owing to the lapse of time, the reliefs sought had become infructuous. The court examined whether the cause of action still survived and whether the petition could be entertained. No specific factual details or reliefs were recorded in the judgment. The court held that the petition was indeed infructuous and consequently disposed of it without granting any relief.
Issues considered
- Whether the reliefs claimed in the writ petition have become infructuous due to the passage of time
- Whether the cause of action for the petition still survives
