Bombay High Court
MANUKUMAR SHRIVASTAVAversusDAGDU PANDU SHINDE AND OTHERS
- Disposal
- DISPOSED OFF
Holding
The petition is dismissed because the petitioners have received the compensation, leaving nothing for the petition to address.
Summary
In Contempt Petition No. 742 of 2015 arising out of WP/10066/2014, the petitioners alleged that the respondents had not paid the compensation due to them. The learned Additional Government Pleader initially claimed the petitioners were not coming to accept the compensation, but later produced receipts showing that the petitioners had indeed accepted the amount, which were recorded as "X". The Court examined these receipts and accepted them as conclusive evidence of payment. Since the compensation had been received, the Court found that there was no longer any ground for the contempt petition. Consequently, the petition was disposed of, along with any pending civil application, if any.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioners had accepted the compensation alleged to be unpaid
- Whether the contempt petition could continue in view of the receipt of compensation
Subjects
- contempt
- compensation
- petition disposal
- receipt of payment

AGP for Respondent/State : Mr. G.A. Kulkarni
CORAM : SANDIPKUMAR C. MORE &
VAISHALI PATIL-JADHAV,JJ.
DATE : 27.07.2026
P.C. :
1] None for the petitioners.
2] Though the learned A.G.P. had earlier submitted that
the petitioners are not coming for accepting the
compensation, but later on he placed on record receipts of
the petitioners whereby they have accepted the amount of
compensation. Those receipts are taken on record and
identified as “X” Collectively.
3] Since, the petitioners have received the amount of
compensation, nothing survives in this petition and it stands
disposed of along with pending civil application, if any.
