V.Easwaran v. Mr. Ragupathy Raju
Case brief
What is this about?
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court disposed of a sub-application filed under Section 151 CPC to initiate contempt proceedings on behalf of a deceased respondent in a main writ petition concerning electricity service connection. The court closed the application because the building plan had been approved subsequently, leaving no matter for adjudication.
What did the court decide?
The sub-application was closed as nothing survived for further adjudication due to subsequent approval of the building plan.
