A writ petition may be dismissed as infructuous when the counsel for the petitioner submits that the relief sought has become redundant or the proceedings are no longer required to be pursued.
Headnote:The petitioner filed the present writ petition seeking relief regarding registration procedures. During the pendency of the proceedings, the petitioner's counsel submitted that the grievance had been addressed or was no longer pressing, rendering the petition infructuous. The core issue before the court was whether the writ petition continued to subsist given the changed circumstances stated by the petitioner's counsel. The court, consistent with established judicial practice, accepted the statement of counsel regarding the infructuous nature of the proceedings. The writ petition is dismissed as infructuous.
