Civil Law - Dismissal of Petition

Headnote

The present petition was filed challenging an order passed by the trial court in a civil suit. Before this Court, the counsel representing the petitioner moved to withdraw the petition or stated that the relief sought has become redundant. The issue for consideration was whether the original petition survives for adjudication in light of the subsequent developments in the underlying suit. The Court noted the submission made by the representative for the petitioner that the proceedings have become infructuous. In view of the submission made, the original petition is dismissed as infructuous.
