Smt Vandana Verma and Another v. State of Up and 3 Others
Case brief
What is this about?
Infructuous writ petition dismissed for want of surviving cause of action; mandamus sought to restrain respondents (State of U.P.) from interfering in petitioners' peaceful marital life; prayer redundant as adverse situation existed only when petition was filed in 2024; none appeared for petitioners at revised call; Allahabad High Court; Writ – C No. 11624 of 2024; neutral citation 2025:AHC:57927; order dated 18.4.2025 by Saurabh Srivastava, J.
What did the court decide?
The prayer in the petition had become redundant because it was perpetuated against the adverse situation available before the petitioners at the time the petition was filed, not against any presently subsisting situation. ¶¶9
