The petitioner’s counsel later informed the court that the relief sought had become infructuous. The court considered whether the petition could continue in view of the change in circumstances. Finding that the relief was no longer available, the court held that the petition could not be entertained further. Consequently, the petition was dismissed as having become infructuous. The order was pronounced by Hon'ble Justice Vinod Diwakar on 23 April 2026.
