Bombay High Court

HARIHAU SANDU KHADKEversusUDAY CHAUDHARI THE COLLECTOR AURANGABAD AND ANOTHER

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

Once the connected matters are disposed of upon compliance and the orders under contempt appear to have been complied with, the contempt petitions become infructuous and are liable to be disposed of.

Summary

These are two connected contempt petitions: Contempt Petition No. 97 of 2020 in WP/511/2019 (Vitthal Girjuba Giri v. State of Maharashtra and others) and Contempt Petition No. 100 of 2020 in WP/858/2019 (Harihau Sandu Khadke v. Uday Chaudhari, Collector Aurangabad and another). None appeared for the petitioners when the matters were called. The Court noted that the connected matters had already been disposed of upon compliance. It further observed that the orders under contempt in the present petitions also appeared to have been complied with. In view of that compliance, the Court found no reason to keep the contempt petitions pending. Both petitions were accordingly disposed of. No substantive legal issue was decided on merits.

Issues considered

Whether the contempt petitions survive for consideration after the connected matters were disposed of upon compliance.
Whether the orders under contempt in the present petitions have been complied with.
