Narayan Prasad Sahu v. State of Chhattisgarh
Case brief
What is this about?
Batch dismissal as infructuous: 22 service-law writ petitions before the Chhattisgarh High Court (petitioners included peons, guest lecturers, Sub Inspectors-M, engineers, panchayat/education-department staff, and university employees) were dismissed as infructuous on the joint position that they no longer survived with the passage of time. Single bench of Justice Narendra Kumar Vyas, order dated 21.06.2024. No statutory interpretation, no precedent discussed, no relief granted, no costs indicated; marked NAFR. Useful only as proof of non-survival of these individual petitions, not as authority on any proposition of law.
What did the court decide?
Accepting the petitioners' submission that with the efflux of time the writ petitions had become infructuous, the Court dismissed the writ petitions (all connected matters) as infructuous. There was no adjudication on merits.
