- Decided
- Disposal
- Disposed Off
Holding
The contempt petitions are disposed of as withdrawn.
Summary
Multiple contempt petitions were filed against Sawer Pushpalal Jain in connection with several writ petitions. The petitioners, represented by A. M. Saraogi, Vaibhav Ugle and Vikas Somawanshi, sought to withdraw the contempt proceedings because an officer had already been appointed to give effect to an order dated 21 January 2022. The court noted that the order of 21 January 2022 had been confirmed by this Court on 8 October 2025 and that an officer was appointed on 20 January 2026 to implement it. Accordingly, the court directed the officer to take expeditious steps for implementation. In view of these developments, the court disposed of all the contempt petitions as withdrawn.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriate course of action for contempt petitions when the underlying order is being implemented by an appointed officer?
- Can the petitioners withdraw contempt petitions after an officer is appointed to enforce the original order?
Subjects
- contempt
- writ petition
- order implementation
- withdrawal
