Holding
The contempt petition was dismissed because the respondents had complied with the court's order, eliminating any breach.
Summary
The petitioners, Shraddha Dinesh Kad and others, filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court and subsequently a contempt petition alleging that the respondents, the State of Maharashtra and others, had breached a court order. The court examined whether the alleged breach persisted. Evidence showed that the respondents had complied with the order in question. Consequently, the court found no ongoing contempt. The judges therefore ordered that the contempt proceedings be dropped. The petition was disposed of without any penalty.

- Whether the respondents had breached the court's order as alleged in the contempt petition
- Whether compliance with the order negates the existence of contempt
