Holding
The petition was dismissed as infructuous because the passage of time had rendered the relief sought unavailable.
Summary
The State of Uttar Pradesh, through the Executive Engineering Department of the P.W.D. (N.S.) Highway Division, filed a writ petition before the Allahabad High Court. The petition sought relief, but no specific relief or facts were detailed in the judgment. The Court observed that, due to the passage of time, the petition had become infructuous. Consequently, the Court dismissed the writ petition on the ground that the relief sought could no longer be granted. The interim order previously granted was vacated, and the parties were permitted to move an application for recall if the matter still survived.
