Kottackal Timbers v. the State of Kerala
Case brief
What is this about?
Three conditional writ petitions filed by a timber contractor against the State of Kerala were closed. The court held that an earlier interim order obtained by the petitioner, directing the release of timber, had already satisfied the petitions' purpose, leaving no relief to grant.
What did the court decide?
Writ petitions closed as full relief obtained via interim order dated 22.12.2020.
