Versus
District Collector – Respondent
WP(C) NO. 17438 OF 2020

A writ petition may be closed when the underlying controversy between the parties has been resolved, rendering the petition infructuous.

Headnote:The proceedings initiated involve a dispute over land survey and boundaries. The petitioners challenged certain administrative actions concerning property measurement. Upon review, it was reported that the core issues had been resolved. The central issue was whether the administrative survey actions remained valid and necessary for judicial intervention. The court reasoned that since the parties indicated that the cause of action had ceased to exist, judicial interference was no longer required. The writ petition is closed.
