Disposal: DISPOSED AS INFRUCTUOUS
Bench: MAULIK SHELAT

Holding

The petition is dismissed as infructuous because the substantive suit has been decided.

Summary

The petitioners filed a special civil application seeking relief, but during its pendency the underlying suit was finally decided by the trial court. The petitioner argued that the decision of the trial court rendered the petition infructuous. The court held that once the substantive suit is adjudicated, the petition can no longer be maintained. Consequently, the petition was disposed of as infructuous and the interim relief previously granted was vacated. No further orders were made.
