Maharashtra transport minister Anil Parab said a contempt petition was being filed over the ongoing strike of employees of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC).

Initially, an Industrial Court had declared the strike illegal and later the Bombay High Court too declared the stir as illegal when some other unions gave the strike call, Parab told reporters as the agitation entered the 13th day. The high court, in its order, had dubbed the unions' stand as "adamant".
