- Decided
Holding
The writ petition was dismissed as infructuous.
Summary
Petitioners filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition against the State of Uttar Pradesh. The petitioners' counsel argued that the petition had become infructuous because a police report had already been filed in the matter. The petition sought dismissal of the writ on that ground. The High Court examined the claim of infructuity and found that the filing of the police report indeed rendered the petition moot. Consequently, the Court dismissed the writ petition as infructuous.
