Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that when a petition becomes infructuous due to the respondent-landlord having already taken possession of the subject premises, the appropriate course is to dispose of the petition. The court emphasized that the principle of mootness applies, leading to the dismissal of the petition as no further relief can be granted. Consequently, the petition was disposed of as infructuous, reflecting the court's adherence to procedural efficiency.
