During the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader submitted that offences under the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (in Financial Establishments) Act, 1999 were added on November 20, 2025. The Court, however, noted that these offences were invoked only after the petitioner approached the Court by filing the contempt petition and after notice was issued on November 11, 2025. To ascertain whether the directions in the order dated August 13, 2024 were complied with within the stipulated three-month period, the Bench has directed the respondents to place before the Court the complete case diary for the period from August 13, 2024 till date.
The matter is now listed for further consideration on December 8, 2025.
Advocate Laxmikant Jaiswal, representing the petitioner, stated: “The High Court’s direction to produce the complete case diary will enable a clear assessment of compliance with the earlier order and ensure that all statutory provisions, including those under the MPID Act, are duly considered during investigation. If any lapse is found, appropriate action as per law will follow.”
