Sanjay Narayan Hange v. P. D. Chavan and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
Bombay High Court, Bench at Aurangabad (S. G. Chapalgaonkar, J.), Contempt Petition No. 74 of 2025 in Appln. 2731/2022, decided 10.06.2025. Contempt petition alleging non-compliance of order dated 08.12.2022 permitting withdrawal of Rs. 20 lakhs deposited in the Trial Court with accrued interest. Affidavit in reply showed the deposit was never invested in FDR, so no interest accrued; Court held there was no disobedience/non-compliance and rejected the petition.
What did the court decide?
Since the amount deposited by the petitioner was not invested in FDR and no interest accrued thereon, there was no disobedience/non-compliance of the order passed by this Court; consequently, the Contempt Petition had no merit and was rejected. ¶11
