Bombay High Court

BALASAHEB BALIKRAM GAIKWADversusRAJGOPA DEORA AND ORS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

All the continuation contempt petitions are infructuous and stand disposed as the contempt orders have been complied with.

Summary

A series of continuation contempt petitions (Nos. 30, 44, 48, 51, 52, 65, 67, 68, 81 of 2012) were filed by various petitioners against Rajgopal Deora and others. The petitioners, represented by Mr. Sharad S. Shinde and Mr. V. P. Bhavthankar, argued that the contempt orders had not been complied with. The Court examined whether the contempt orders remained outstanding. It found that the orders had been fully complied with, rendering the petitions infructuous. Consequently, the Court ordered that all the contempt petitions stand disposed. The judgment was delivered by Judges Sandipkumar C. More and Vaishali Patil‑Jadhav on 3 September 2026.
