Bombay High Court

SHAMSUDDIN MAHMULAL PATHANversusYASHWANT MARUTI KANTHODE

Disposal: Disposed Off
Bench: SACHIN SHIVAJIRAO DESHMUKH

Holding

The Court held that the contempt was purged as the respondent had complied with the earlier order, and therefore the petition stands disposed.

Summary

The petitioner, Shamsuddin Mahmulal Pathan, filed a contempt petition (No. 84 of 2026) arising from the order passed in Writ Petition No. 9140 of 2004 dated 26 September 2024. The respondent, Yashwant Maruti Kanhode, was alleged to have failed to comply with that order. The respondent's counsel submitted that full compliance had been effected, and the petitioner subsequently confirmed the same. The Court examined whether any contempt remained after the alleged compliance. Finding that the respondent had indeed complied, the Court held that the contempt was purged. Consequently, the contempt petition was disposed of.

Issues considered

Did the respondent comply with the order passed in Writ Petition No. 9140 of 2004?
Whether the contempt petition should be dismissed on the ground that the alleged contempt has been purged?
