Bombay High Court

THE INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION OF SMALL SCALE INDUSTRIES THROUGH ITS CHAIRMANversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The contempt petition is disposed of as no cause of action survives following the disposal of the main writ petition.

Summary

The Industrial Association of Small Scale Industries filed Contempt Petition No. 559 of 2013 alleging disobedience of an interim order passed by the Bombay High Court. The petitioner did not appear before the Court. The Court noted that the interim order was part of a main writ petition which had been fully disposed of on 29 March 2019. Since the main writ petition was resolved, the interim order no longer subsisted. Consequently, there was no surviving ground for contempt. The Court therefore disposed of the contempt petition.

Issues considered

Whether the alleged disobedience of an interim order can give rise to contempt when the main writ petition has been disposed.
Whether any surviving cause of action remains in the contempt petition after disposal of the main writ petition.
