What’s New / What Lawyers Should Note
- Dismissal of a writ petition as infructuous means the court has not adjudicated on substantive legal rights or questions.
- Such an order establishes no precedent and cannot be cited as binding or persuasive legal authority.
- Lawyers should not rely on this order in future cases for any legal proposition.
Summary of Legal Reasoning
- The court dismissed the writ petition as infructuous, without adjudication on merits.
- No substantive legal issue was discussed or decided in the text of the order.
- The order expressly clarifies no costs are awarded.
- As the dismissal was for infructuousness, no legal principle, statutory interpretation, or factual question was addressed.
Alert Indicators
