Analysis:
The judgment pertains to a writ petition seeking a direction to prevent interference with the petitioner's peaceful demonstration inside a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) premises and outside a factory. The petition was filed in 2011, requesting relief from any interference during the peaceful demonstration conducted in the same year. The court noted that due to the passage of time, the cause for filing the petition had ceased to exist. Consequently, the court held that there was no need for further adjudication on the grounds raised in the petition. As a result, the writ petition was disposed of as infructuous, with no order as to costs. The connected miscellaneous petition was also closed in light of this decision. The judgment highlights the importance of timely legal action and the impact of the passage of time on the relevance of a petition seeking relief from past events.
