The Court held that the respondents had complied with the earlier order, so no contempt existed and the petition was dismissed.

Three doctors filed a petition seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against Jai Prakash University and associated colleges, alleging willful disobedience of a Patna High Court order dated 02‑04‑2018 in CWJC No. 9292 of 2016. The respondents filed a show‑cause memorandum stating that they had complied with the earlier order. The Court examined the show‑cause and found that the order had indeed been complied with, thereby negating any basis for contempt.
