SANTOSH SUBHASHAPPA MUKTAversusKISHORE BOMMAI B DANAM

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The contempt petition is disposed of as the order under contempt is deemed complied with by the passage of time.

Summary

Santosh Subhashappa Mukta filed Contempt Petition No.458 of 2020 arising out of Writ Petition No.7463 of 2018 against Kishore Bommaji B. Danam. The petitioner alleged that a contempt order had been passed against the respondent. The petitioner’s counsel submitted that the order had been complied with by the mere passage of time. The Court examined whether the passage of time amounted to compliance with the contempt order. Finding that the petitioner’s submission was satisfactory, the Court held that there was no longer any ground for contempt proceedings. Consequently, the contempt petition was disposed of. The judgment was delivered by Judges Sandipkumar C. More and Vaishali Patil-Jadhav on 31 August 2026.
