Holding
The petition was withdrawn and disposed of as the contemnor had complied with the interim order.
Summary
The petitioner, Birendra Ram, filed a contempt petition against Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and its Territory Manager, Manish Garg, alleging willful violation of an interim order dated 20‑08‑2015 in C.W.J.C. No. 7211 of 2014, which required the contemnor to pay the petitioner his last drawn emolument during the writ proceedings. The petition sought initiation of contempt proceedings for non‑compliance with that order. During the hearing, counsel for the petitioner informed the court that the required payment had been made and therefore the petition could be withdrawn. The court granted liberty to the petitioner to withdraw the petition. Consequently, the contempt petition (M.J.C. No. 745 of 2021) was disposed of as the order had been complied with.
Issues considered
- Whether the contemnor has willfully violated the interim order dated 20‑08‑2015.
- Whether the contempt petition can be withdrawn after compliance with the order.
