M.SUKUMARAN AGED 41 YEARS S/O.KUNHIKANNAN NAIR – Appellant
Versus
THE DISTRICT COLLECTOR, KASARAGOD – Respondent
WP(C) NO. 37889 OF 2022

A writ petition is dismissed when the prayers sought by the petitioners become infructuous, indicating lack of actionable relief.

Headnote:This case deals with the evaluation of a writ petition which became infructuous. The petitioners sought relief that had lost its relevance, leading the court to dismiss the petition as such. The court recognizes that relief must be actionable, and therefore, if prayers are no longer applicable, dismissal is warranted. As a result, the writ petition is dismissed.
