Allahabad High Court
ALOK VISHWAKARMAversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 4 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The petition is dismissed as infructuous because the final order has been passed, rendering the relief sought unavailable.
Summary
Alok Vishwakarma filed a writ petition before the Allahabad High Court challenging actions of the State of Uttar Pradesh and four other respondents. While the petition was pending, a final order in the underlying matter was passed. The petitioner’s counsel informed the court that the final order rendered the writ petition moot. The court examined whether the petition could continue in view of the final order. Relying on the principle that a petition becomes infructuous when the relief sought is no longer available, the court held that the petition could not proceed. Consequently, the writ petition was dismissed as infructuous.

- Whether the writ petition remains maintainable after a final order has been passed in the substantive matter?
