Bombay High Court

SHAIKH YAKUB SHAIKH AYUBversusTHE STATE OF MAH AND ORS

Disposal
DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The Court disposed of the contempt petition as the order had been complied with.

Summary

The petitioners, Shaikh Yakub and another, filed a contempt petition alleging non‑compliance with a previous order directing the preparation of a corrected seniority list. The State of Maharashtra, through its Education Officer, filed an affidavit‑in‑reply stating that the corrected seniority list had been prepared as directed by the Court. The Court examined the affidavit and found that the order had been complied with. Consequently, the Court held that there was no longer any basis for the contempt petition. The petition was therefore disposed of, and any pending civil applications, if any, were also dismissed.

Issues considered

  • Whether the contempt petition should stand after the respondent complied with the Court's direction to prepare a corrected seniority list.

Subjects

  • contempt
  • seniority list
  • compliance
  • high court
  • education officer
  • order compliance
