Bombay High Court

VYANKATESH KERBA GADADEversusAJIT B KUMBHAR THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFICER ZP BEED

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The contempt petition was disposed of as the petitioner’s grievance had been redressed.

Summary

Vyankatesh Kerba Gadade filed a contempt petition (No. 70 of 2020) arising out of Writ Petition No. 12871/2019 against the Chief Executive Officer of Zilla Parishad Beed. The petitioner alleged that the respondents had failed to grant him a promotion, a grievance that had earlier been directed to be remedied by the Court. During the hearing, it was observed that the petitioner's counsel had been elevated to the bench of this Court, indicating that the promotion issue had been effectively resolved. The Court held that since the grievance was already redressed, there was no ground to continue the contempt proceedings. Consequently, the contempt petition was disposed of without any further order.

                                      DATE      :   28.09.2026
                 P.C. :


                 1]           Though the learned counsel for the petitioner has

                 been elevated as Judge of this Court, but it appears that this

                 Court had directed the respondents to give him promotion. It

                 appears that by passage of time, the grievance of the

                 petitioner must have been redressed.



                 2]           In view of the same, the Contempt Petition stands

                 disposed of.



                 [VAISHALI PATIL-JADHAV]             [SANDIPKUMAR C.MORE]
