Sri S B Sudhakar v. the State of Karnataka
Case brief
What is this about?
S B Sudhakar v State of Karnataka and others, WP No. 26191 of 2022 (S-RES), HC-Kar (NC: 2026:KHC:28361), oral order dated 11-06-2026 by Ashok S. Kinagi J. Keywords: quo warranto; Inspector of Legal Metrology; respondent No.5 Smt K Pushpavathi; Karnataka State Administrative Tribunal ('KAT'); A.No.100/2020; appointment set aside; W.P.No.7119/2023 confirmed on 31.01.2026; writ petition disposed of as infructuous; pending IAs disposed; Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution; Legal Metrology Act reference in prayer; impugned order No. KaaMaaE/Sibbandi-1/ViVa-141/21-22 dated 30.10.21 (Annexure-B); notice to respondent No.5 deferred v/o 04.01.2023.
What did the court decide?
Since the appointment of respondent No.5 had already been set aside by the KAT in A.No.100/2020 and that decision was confirmed by this Court in W.P.No.7119/2023 (order dated 31.01.2026), nothing survived for consideration in this writ petition, which was therefore disposed of as having rendered infructuous.
