132.19CP 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD 909 CONTEMPT PETITION NO. 132 OF 2019 IN WRIT PETITION NO.10344 OF 2016 DHANANJAY MADHUKAR INGOLE VERSUS THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA & OTHERS ... Advocate for the Petitioner : Mr.Deepak B. Rasve h/f. Mr.A.H.Koralkar AGP for Respondent-State : Mr.P.S.Patil ... CORAM : SANDIPKUMAR C. MORE & VAISHALI PATIL-JADHAV,JJ. DATE : 10.07.2026 P.C. : 1] Heard. Though the learned counsel Mr.Deepak B. Rasve holding for Mr.A.H.Koralkar, learned counsel for the petitioner sought an adjournment, but on going through the order under contempt, it is evident that two fold directions are given, firstly for respondent no.1–Scrutiny Committee to decide the caste validation claim of the petitioner and secondly to respondent no.3 for provisionally regularized services of the petitioner subject to furnishing caste validation certificate. 2] The learned AGP, on instructions, submits that the caste validation claim of the petitioner is already decided by the respondent no.2 - Scrutiny Committee in the year 2021 itself and it was invalidated. 2026:BHC-AUG:27786-DB 132.19CP 2 3] Under such circumstances, once the caste claim of the petitioner is invalidated, there is no question of granting him provisional regularization. In view of the same, nothing survives in this Contempt Petition and the same stands disposed of. [VAISHALI PATIL-JADHAV] [SANDIPKUMAR C.MORE] JUDGE JUDGE DDC
