Holding
The Court held that no contempt adjudication was required as the orders dated 12 August 2022 and 20 October 2022 had been complied with, and therefore disposed of the contempt petitions.
Summary
The High Court of Bombay heard Contempt Petition No. 26 of 2025 filed by Parveen Ismail Tamboli against the State of Maharashtra, and Contempt Petition No. 270 of 2025 filed by Kalyan Mahadeo Kokare, also against the State. Both petitions alleged non‑compliance with earlier orders dated 12 August 2022 and 20 October 2022 respectively. The petitioners, through counsel Ms. Manisha Devkar, submitted that the orders had been fully complied with. The Court, after hearing counsel for the State, accepted the compliance and held that there was no ground to proceed with contempt adjudication. Consequently, both contempt petitions were disposed of without any penalty. In the related Writ Petition No. 9294 of 2025, the Court ordered a stand‑over to 19 October 2026 and directed the filing of a reply affidavit within ten days.
