Holding

The contempt petition was disposed of as the respondents had complied with the order, leaving no ground for further contempt proceedings.

Summary

The petitioners, Damu Ashruba Pachunde and others, filed a contempt petition (Contempt Petition No. 26 of 2016) before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra. The petition alleged that an order of the court had been contravened, leading to contempt proceedings. Learned Counsel for the petitioners, Mr. S. N. Rodge, submitted that the respondents had complied with the contempt order. The court, after considering the submission, found that the compliance was satisfactory. Consequently, the court held that there was no longer any basis for the contempt petition. The petition was therefore disposed of, and the contempt proceedings were terminated.
