What the court decided

AI extract

Outcome

Administrative listing direction: the connected contempt petitions and the civil application are to be placed and heard 'Not before the bench of which Smt. Manjusha Deshpande, J. is a member.' No merits were decided and no quantum awarded.

Issue for consideration

Listing/roster determination for the batch of thirty-two connected contempt petitions and one civil application: the order records that these matters are to be taken up not before the Bench of which Smt. Manjusha Deshpande, J. is a member.

Court's answer

By a one-line order signed by both Judges, the Court directed that the batch of connected contempt petitions and the civil application be placed 'Not before the bench of which Smt. Manjusha Deshpande, J. is a member', i.e., they are to be heard by a Bench that does not include Justice Manjusha Deshpande. No direction on the merits or on the alleged contempts was issued.

Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

High Court of Judicature of Bombay, Bench at Aurangabad (Nitin B. Suryawanshi and Manjusha Deshpande, JJ.; order dated 21-04-2025). Administrative order passed in a batch of thirty-three connected matters - thirty-two contempt petitions (lead matter: Cont. Petition No. 763 of 2023 in CP/631/2018, Shahejed Ahmed S/o Amiruddin Patel v. Union of India and Others) and Civil Application No. 4008 of 2023 in CP/264/2017 (State of Maharashtra as applicant against Trupti Shivaji Sarjine and another). The batch arises out of writ petitions and earlier contempt cases of 2015-2018, predominantly involving education-department matters: the Secretary, School Education and Sports Department, and officers styled Ranjit Singh Deol and I.A. Kundan appear as respondents, and the I/C Director of Education (Primary), Directorate of Education, Pune, was present in Court. The State was represented throughout by the Additional Government Pleader. The operative order consists of a single line: the matters are to be taken up 'Not before the bench of which Smt. Manjusha Deshpande, J. is a member.' No allegation of contempt was adjudicated, no statutory provision and no precedent is cited, and nothing was decided on the merits.
