Bombay High Court

ANAND SHESHRAO BHAROSE AND ORSversusDR. VEDPRAKASH KASHIRAO PATIL AND ANR

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The contempt petition does not survive the disposal of the main writ petition and is therefore disposed.

Summary

The petitioners filed a contempt petition (No. 480 of 2011) arising out of a writ petition (WP/6155/2011). The main writ petition had already been disposed of by the court. The respondents argued that with the disposal of the writ, the contempt petition could no longer survive. The bench examined whether any residual issue remained that could sustain the contempt proceedings. Finding that the disposal of the main writ eliminated the basis for the contempt claim, the court held that nothing survived in the contempt petition. Consequently, the contempt petition was ordered to stand disposed.

Issues considered
