Summary

Shri Abdul Hakim Abdul Majid Madoo filed a contempt petition challenging the State of Maharashtra for alleged non‑compliance of an order dated 21 April 2025. The State, through the Advocate General, submitted a communication from the Tahsildar and Executive Magistrate of Bhiwandi along with mutation entries, asserting that the order had been fully complied with.
