Summary

The High Court of Bombay, Aurangabad Bench, heard Contempt Petition No. 477 of 2013 filed by High School Lohara through its Secretary against V. K. Khnadke and others. The petitioners, represented by Adv. Yashraj H. Gaherwar on behalf of Adv. Gunale V. D., sought relief alleging contempt. During the hearing, the petitioner's counsel submitted that the petition had become infructuous. The Court, after considering the submission, found no remaining cause of action and held that the petition could no longer be pursued.
