Holding
The court held that the petitioners had complied with the prior judgment and order, and therefore the contempt petition could not proceed.
Summary
The petitioners, Jiyaul Hasan and others, filed a contempt application (Civil) No. 1587 of 2020 before the Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench, alleging that the respondent, Rajpal Singh, Engineer-in-Chief, P.W.D., Lucknow, had failed to comply with a prior judgment and order. The petitioners, through counsel Laxmi Kant Pathak, submitted that the judgment and order had been fully complied with, rendering the contempt petition moot. The court examined the claim of compliance and found that the petitioners had indeed satisfied the requirements of the earlier order. Consequently, the court held that there was no basis to continue the contempt proceedings. The contempt petition was therefore dismissed and any pending notices, if any, were discharged.
