jitendra pal v. State of U.P. and 3 Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
This was a Special Appeal (No. 400 of 2018) filed by Jitendra Pal against the State of U.P. and others. The parties, through their counsel, informed the Hon'ble Court that the Special Appeal had become infructuous, likely due to the death of a party or settlement of the underlying dispute. Accordingly, the Hon'ble Court (Dilip Gupta, J. and Neeraj Tiwari, J.) dismissed the Special Appeal and vacated any interim order that may have been in place. No substantive legal ruling on any specific provision or precedent was given, as the court declined to entertain the appeal on procedural grounds. The order was passed on 24.05.2018.
What did the court decide?
The Special Appeal was dismissed due to it being rendered infructuous. Any interim order stands vacated.
