AMBRUSHI SHRIRANG CHAVAN AND OTHERSversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

Compliance with the contempt order results in the disposal of the contempt petition.

Summary

The petitioners, Ambrushi Shrirang Chavan and others, filed a contempt petition (No.336 of 2020) before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra and other respondents. The petition alleged that an order of contempt had been issued against the respondents. The petitioners’ counsel, Mr. P.B. Salunke and Mr. V.G. Salgare, informed the Court that the respondents had complied with the contempt order. The Court examined whether the compliance was sufficient to satisfy the contempt proceedings. Finding that the order under contempt had indeed been complied with, the Court held that there was no further ground to continue the petition. Consequently, the Court disposed of the contempt petition. The judgment was delivered by Judges Sandipkumar C. More and Vaishali Patil‑Jadhav on 31 August 2026.
