Bombay High Court

DAULAT KISAN JADHAVversusROHAN VITTHAL PATANGE AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The contempt petition stands disposed as there is nothing surviving after the writ petition was declared infructuous.

Summary

The petitioner, Daulat Kisan Jadhao, filed Contempt Petition No. 286 of 2019 arising out of Writ Petition No. 12367 of 2018. The Court had earlier passed an order of contempt in the writ petition and subsequently disposed of the writ petition as infructuous. Because the writ petition, which was the source of the alleged contempt, was rendered ineffective, there was no surviving ground for the contempt petition. The Court therefore held that nothing remained to be adjudicated in the contempt proceeding. Consequently, the contempt petition was dismissed as infructuous and the matter was disposed of.

Issues considered

The contempt petition remains viable after the underlying writ petition is disposed as infructuous.
