Case brief
What is this about?
Short order dismissing a writ petition as infructuous on grounds of mootness: after the vacancy involved was filled before the concerned Tribunal, the petitioners (Biswajit Das & Anr.) sought discontinuation of WPA No. 5125 of 2026 against Canara Bank & Ors.; the Bank did not oppose and the writ petition was dismissed as infructuous. Relevant search terms: 'dismissed as infructuous', 'subsequent events / mootness in writ petitions', 'vacancy filled during pendency of writ petition'. No statutory provisions or precedent cases were cited; no monetary quantum involved.
What did the court decide?
Since the vacancy had been filled before the concerned Tribunal after the filing of the writ petition and the respondent Bank, though represented, did not oppose the petitioner's prayer, WPA No. 5125 of 2026 stands dismissed as infructuous. ¶¶10
