Decided: 18 February 2026
Disposal: DISPOSED
Bench: AJIT KUMAR

Holding

The contempt petition is dismissed as it has become infructuous due to compliance with the earlier order.

Summary

The petitioners filed a contempt petition challenging the order dated 01‑10‑2015 in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 32053 of 2014. They argued that the order had already been complied with, rendering the contempt proceedings moot. The petition was heard before Hon’ble Mr. Justice Ajit Kumar on 18‑02‑2026. The counsel for the petitioners submitted that compliance had occurred and therefore the petition had become infructuous. The Court accepted this submission and dismissed the contempt petition as infructuous.
