TRIMURTI PAWAN PRATISHTHAN THR ITS SECRETARY MR. MANISH ANNASAHEB GHADGEPATILversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition is disposed as the petitioner has been granted liberty to seek redressal of the unreasoned order in the appropriate forum.

Summary

The petitioner, Trimurti Pawan Pratishthan, filed a contempt petition challenging an order issued by respondent No.4 in response to a final show‑cause notice dated 24‑12‑2020, alleging that the order was not reasoned. The petitioner sought to contest the order on the ground of lack of reasons. The Court observed that, under the contempt order, the petitioner had already been granted liberty to seek redressal of any grievance arising from the respondent’s order. Since that liberty was expressly provided, the Court found no further ground to entertain the challenge. Consequently, the petition was disposed, leaving the petitioner free to approach the appropriate forum for any further relief.

Issues considered

Whether the order passed by respondent No.4 under the final show‑cause notice is a reasoned order and can be challenged in the contempt petition

                   DATED :      SEPTEMBER 29, 2026

ORDER:-

1.    Heard.



2.    The record shows that as per the direction of this Court,

respondent No.4 has passed order in respect of final show cause notice

dated 24.12.2020, which can be seen at page No. 67 of the petition.

However, it is the grievance of the learned counsel for the petitioner

that the said order cannot be said to be a reasoned order. However, as

per the order under contempt, in paragraph No.8, the liberty is

already granted to the petitioner to seek redressal of its grievance, if

the petitioner is aggrieved by the order passed by respondent No.4

pursuant to final show cause notice dated 24.12.2020.
                                   (2)
                                                    925- C. P. 322-2023.odt
3.     The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, the

petitioner intends to challenge this order as per the liberty given since

no reasons are assigned in the order passed by respondent No.4 in the

aforesaid order.



4.     Under such circumstances, with the liberty as aforesaid, the

petition stands disposed of.
