Bombay High Court

VISHNU SAMPATRAO YADAVversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The Court granted permission to withdraw the contempt petitions, thereby disposing of them as withdrawn.

Summary

The petitioners, represented by Mr. R.U. Gavhane (on behalf of Adv. Karhale) and Ms. Bhagyashree S., filed three separate contempt petitions (Nos. 329, 330, 332 of 2013) against the State of Maharashtra and other respondents. The petitioners sought the Court's permission to withdraw these contempt petitions. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted a request for withdrawal, which was considered by a two‑Judge Bench of the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad. The Court examined whether it could entertain a withdrawal of contempt proceedings and found no impediment to allowing the petitioners to retract their applications. Consequently, the Court granted permission to withdraw, and the contempt petitions were disposed of as withdrawn.
