Bombay High Court

DRUPADABAI APPASAHEB KARALEversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition was disposed of as there was no longer any contempt after compliance.

Summary

The petitioner, Drupadabai Appasaheb Karale, filed a contempt petition (No. 336 of 2013) alleging non-compliance with a prior order. The respondent State, represented by A.G.P. N.B. Patil, submitted a letter dated 12 March 2014 indicating that rental compensation had been paid to the petitioner, thereby complying with the order. The court recorded the letter as evidence and marked it for identification. Upon reviewing the compliance, the court found that no grounds for contempt remained. Consequently, the contempt petition was dismissed and the matter disposed of.

Issues considered

Whether the contempt petition remains viable after the respondent has complied with the order by paying rental compensation.
