Holding
The petition was dismissed as the contempt order had been complied with, leaving no matter for adjudication.
Summary
The petitioner, Nandkumar Tukaram Tivghale, filed a contempt petition seeking an adjournment. The petitioner’s counsel, Adv. Gayatri S. Kalve, argued for the adjournment, while the Assistant Government Pleader, Ms. U.S. Bhosale, submitted that the contempt order had already been complied with, albeit belatedly, in 2015. The Court examined whether any relief remained after the compliance. Finding that the order had been satisfied, the Court held that there was nothing left to adjudicate. Consequently, the contempt petition was disposed of and the rule was discharged.
Issues considered
- Whether the contempt petition remains viable after the order has been complied with, even if compliance was delayed.

PER COURT :
1) Although the learned Advocate Ms. Gayatri S.

albeit belatedly, in the year 2015.
2) In view of the compliance, nothing survives in
the present petition. The Contempt Petition, therefore,
