Bombay High Court

RAMLAL BRIJLAL JOSHI AND OTHERSversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

No contempt issue survives; the contempt petition is dismissed.

Summary

The petitioners, Ramlal Brijlal Joshi and others, filed Contempt Petition No. 392 of 2020 arising from Writ Petition No. 2076 of 2016 against the State of Maharashtra and others. The petitioners' counsel argued that the contempt petition pertained only to an interim order and that the main writ petition had already been disposed of. The Court examined whether any contempt issue remained after the disposal of the main petition. Finding that nothing survived the disposal of the main petition, the Court held that the contempt petition could be dismissed. Accordingly, the petition was ordered to stand disposed.
