Holding

Since the petitioner has already received the compensation, the petition stands disposed.

Summary

Petitioner Sanjay Mulchand Patel filed a contempt petition arising from Writ Petition (Stamp) No.12235 of 2024 against the State of Maharashtra and others. The petitioner claimed that compensation of Rs.3,00,000/- was due. The court noted that, per the bank officer’s statement recorded in the order dated 28 August 2026, the compensation had already been paid to the petitioner. Consequently, the court held that no further relief could be granted. The petition was therefore disposed of.
