Sk Ali Naser and Anr. v. State of West Bengal and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Stage carriage permit renewal; Regional Transport Authority, Burdwan; writ petition challenging inaction of transport authority; interim orders allowing plying of vehicle and permit renewal during pendency of earlier writ petition; renewal subsequently granted; no subsisting cause of action; writ petition disposed of as infructuous. Relevant to disposal of permit-renewal writs rendered infructuous by subsequent grant of the relief sought.
What did the court decide?
Since renewal of the petitioner's stage carriage permit has already been granted, no further valid cause of action remains to be adjudicated in the writ petition. ¶9
