Bombay High Court

DINKAR SHANKAR DESHPANDEversusSANJAY KUMAR AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: SANDIPKUMAR C MORE ABASAHEB D SHINDE

Holding

The contempt petitions are disposed of as the respondents have complied with the earlier contempt order.

Summary

The petitioners filed three contempt petitions (Nos. 305, 306, 307 of 2014) alleging that the respondents, Sanjay Kumar and others, had failed to comply with a prior contempt order. The State, through its Additional Government Pleaders, filed affidavits stating that the contempt order had been fully complied with. The petitioners, through their counsel, concurred with the State’s affidavit and confirmed that compliance had indeed occurred. The Bench examined the affidavits and the confirmations and found no remaining ground for the contempt petitions. Consequently, the Court held that there was nothing left to adjudicate and ordered the contempt petitions to be disposed of.

Issues considered

Whether the respondents had complied with the earlier contempt order.
Whether the contempt petitions should be dismissed on the ground of compliance.
