A writ petition seeking medical treatment for a prisoner becomes infructuous if the underlying main appeal concerning the prisoner's conviction has been allowed by the court.

Headnote:The petitioner sought a writ of mandamus under Art. 226 of the Constitution of India, requesting the transfer of a convict to a government hospital for medical treatment. The court noted that a connected appeal had already been allowed. Consequently, the petition was deemed infructuous. The primary issue was whether the request for medical leave or transfer of the convict remained legally actionable. The court reasoned that since the underlying conviction or substantive appeal was already decided in favor of the petitioner's interest, there was no necessity to pursue the medical transfer application. The petition stands closed as infructuous.
