Madras High Court 19.01.2026; W.P.No.38728 of 2016 & W.M.P.No.6252 of 2017; V.B.R.Menon party-in-person vs State of Tamilnadu secretaries, CMDA, DTCP, IGR; writ of declaration under Article 226 challenging proviso to amended Sec 22-A (2), Tamilnadu Registration Act 1908, as violating Article 14 equality, seeking transparent implementation procedures; disposed of as infructuous by efflux of time; interim application dismissed; no costs; no merits decision, no cases cited.
What did the court decide?
The writ petition was disposed of as having been rendered infructuous by efflux of time (as submitted by the petitioner); there shall be no order as to costs, and consequently the interim application W.M.P.No.6252 of 2017 was also dismissed. The constitutional question on Sec 22-A (2)/Article 14 was thereby left undecided. ¶33
