Prem Ballabh Bhatt v. Indian Red Cross Society through Its General Secretary
Case brief
What is this about?
Single-judge writ decision dated 08.04.2026 (Pankaj Purohit, J.) dismissing WPMS No.1323 of 2025, in which petitioner Prem Ballabh Bhatt challenged the election to the posts of Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the State Branch of the Indian Red Cross Society. Counsel for respondent no.1 reported at the Bar that the Chairman had been removed and a new Committee constituted, rendering the petition infructuous. Dismissed as such; no relief granted; no statutes or precedent cases cited.
What did the court decide?
Since a new Committee has already been constituted by the State Branch of the Red Cross Society, the writ petition challenging the election has become infructuous. ¶6
