Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
The High Court of Bombay held that since the Respondent obtained an extension of three months to decide the Petitioner's tribe claim in a civil application preceding the contempt petition, the impugned alleged breach could no longer subsist. Accordingly, the court ruled that the contempt petition would not survive and dismissed it without a detailed discussion, effecting a disposal on the merits of the continued violation.
What did the court decide?
The contempt petition was dismissed as it no longer survived after the extension of time to decide the tribe claim.
