VIJU ABRAHAM, J
GREESHMA HANNA VARGHESE – Appellant
Versus
MARRIAGE REGISTRAR KOTTAYAM MUNICIPALITY – Respondent
WP(C) NO. 4445 OF 2021

Writ petitions must have a live issue to be considered; lack of such renders them infructuous.

Headnote:Under relevant procedural law, the petitioner submitted that the writ petition has become infructuous. The court considered this submission and found that the appropriate course was dismissal of the writ petition. The primary question framed was whether the writ petition had become infructuous. The court reasoned that due to the absence of a live issue, dismissal was warranted. Thus, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous.
