Holding
No contempt is made out; the contempt proceeding is dismissed.
Summary
The petitioner, Shailendra Kumar Singh, filed a contempt proceeding (MJC No. 981 of 2021) against several Bihar government officials and the SBI, alleging willful disobedience of a High Court order dated 19 September 2018 in C.W.J.C. No. 18803 of 2016, which had disposed of his writ petition after his grievance was found to be redressed. The Court examined whether the opposite parties had failed to comply with that order. It observed that the 2018 order was a small order merely disposing the writ petition and that there was no evidence of non‑compliance or contemptuous conduct. Consequently, the Court held that no contempt was made out. The contempt proceeding was therefore dismissed and the matter was disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether the opposite parties are guilty of contempt of court for alleged non‑compliance with the order dated 19 September 2018 in C.W.J.C. No. 18803 of 2016.
Subjects
- contempt of court
