- Decided
- Bench
- PIYUSH AGRAWAL
Holding
The writ petition was dismissed as it had become infructuous.
Summary
Amar Singh and another filed a writ petition (Writ No. 53416 of 2000) before the Allahabad High Court challenging the actions of the Commissioner, Kanpur and others. The petition was listed as "likely to be infructuous" and no further case was called out. The Court observed that, due to the passage of time, the petition had become infructuous and could no longer be entertained. Consequently, the Court dismissed the writ petition on the ground of infructuity and vacated any interim order that may have been in force. The Court, however, allowed the parties to move an application for recall of the order if the matter still survived.
