WP(C) NO. 14492 OF 2023

A writ petition may become infructuous when the underlying matters are resolved or no longer require adjudication.

Headnote:The Court analyzed the sale notice dated 23.2.2023 concerning immovable property which was challenged in this writ petition. The primary finding was that the petition had become infructuous, leading to its dismissal. It framed the issue of whether the notice could be contested. The reasoning focused on the petition's lack of merit. Consequently, the Court concluded with the dismissal of the writ petition as infructuous.
