Case brief
What is this about?
J&K and Ladakh High Court (Jammu Bench); WP(C) No. 3328/2025 with CM No. 7588/2025; M/s Sharma Brothers (petitioner, through M. K. Bhardwaj, Sr. Adv. and Saksham Singh, Adv.) versus UT of J&K & Ors. (respondents, through Monika Kohli, Sr. AAG and Nazia Fazal, Adv.); coram: Justice Rahul Bharti; decided 09.12.2025; subject matter: Mela (fair) at Poonch, permission of District Magistrate Poonch, impugned order, survival of cause of action; outcome: writ petition closed and dismissed as infructuous; no statutes or precedents cited; no monetary quantum involved.
What did the court decide?
Since, despite the impugned order, the petitioner is still continuing with the conduct of the Mela (fair) pursuant to the permission granted by the District Magistrate, Poonch, the purpose of the writ petition has served itself; the writ petition is therefore closed as the petitioner, as on date, has no cause of action.
