The contempt petition was disposed of because the parties had settled the controversy and the appeal was already disposed.
Summary
The petitioners filed a contempt petition (No.139 of 2025) arising from an appeal (Order No.132 of 2020). The parties subsequently reached a full settlement of the underlying dispute through consent terms, and the appeal itself was disposed of. Counsel for the petitioners informed the Court that, given the settlement, they did not wish to pursue the contempt proceedings. The Court considered that there was no longer any controversy to sustain a contempt claim. Accordingly, the Court ordered the contempt petition to be disposed of. No further directions were issued.
