When you argue the case, generally you argue the whole case. It is up to you whether you want to argue on a single prayer or all the prayers. Sometimes, people confine their arguments to some limited issues, while not pressing the other issues. It is your choice. Unless the court agrees to keep other issues open, the petition is disposed of in whole. Sometimes, the court may even observe that other issues were not pressed, hence they are not decided, but the petition may be disposed of.
Therefore, once the final arguments have taken place, the petition can be disposed of completely. Wait for the written order of the court.
