IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM
T.R. Ravi, J
Tharanath – Appellant
Versus
Power Grid Corporation Of India – Respondent
CRP NO. 240 OF 2020

A civil revision petition becomes infructuous and is liable to be closed when the parties report that the underlying dispute has been settled out of court.

Headnote:In the instant case, the petitioner sought revision against the order of the Additional District Court. The proceedings involved a dispute concerning land acquisition and compensation by the respondent corporation. The core issue before the Court was the maintainability and necessity of continuing the revision petition in light of subsequent developments. The ratio decidendi established that matters settled between the parties render the pending litigation infructuous, obviating the need for judicial adjudication. The outcome of the proceedings is that the civil revision petition is closed as infructuous.
