Bombay High Court

SHAIKH ZAFAR SHAIKH AFSARversusRAJE N LONDHE AND ANR

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The contempt petition stands disposed as there is nothing surviving after the writ petition's disposal.

Summary

The Court considered a contempt petition filed by Shaikh Zafar Shaikh Afsar against respondents Raje N. Londhe and others. The petition arose from an interim contempt order that had been issued earlier. Subsequently, the original writ petition (WP/845/2011) was disposed of by an order dated 29 November 2011. The Court held that with the disposal of the writ petition, the interim contempt order no longer had any operative effect. Consequently, there was nothing left to adjudicate in the contempt petition, and the petition was dismissed as disposed.

Issues considered

Whether the contempt petition survives after the disposal of the underlying writ petition.
