Summary

Dr. Manisha Bharat Salunkhe filed a writ petition (No. 25 of 2024) and a contempt petition (No. 4 of 2024) before the Bombay High Court, seeking interim relief against the State of Maharashtra and other respondents. The applicant filed Interim Application No. 11265 of 2025 in the writ petition and Interim Application No. 11103 of 2025 in the contempt petition. Both applications were heard by a two‑judge bench comprising Justice Nitin B. Suryawanshi and Justice Ajit B. Kadetankar. After considering the arguments of counsel, the Court found that the relief sought in the prayer clause (b) of each application was justified. Consequently, the Court allowed both interim applications and disposed of them accordingly.
