Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Transfer Petition filed by the Union of India as infructuous since the main Writ Petition had already been disposed of by the High Court. The Court clarified that there was no need to transfer a matter that was no longer pending. The outcome reinforces the principle that transfer petitions are contingent upon the existence of a live matter to be transferred.
