Holding

The contempt application is dismissed as infructuous because the writ court’s order has been complied with.

Summary

The High Court of Allahabad heard a civil contempt application filed by M/s Landmark Infra Project through its proprietor Naresh Kumar and another against Vavin Mishra, a District Panchayat Raj Officer. The applicant alleged that the opposite party had failed to comply with a writ court order concerning representation. During the hearing, the standing counsel submitted that the representation issue had been decided on 18 April 2026 and a copy of the opposite party’s order was produced. The court observed that the writ court’s order was limited to deciding the representation, which the authorities had now fulfilled. Consequently, the contempt application was deemed infructuous and was dismissed. The judgment was delivered by Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal on 20 April 2026.

                                                    HON'BLE ROHIT RANJAN AGARWAL, J.

                                    1. Learned Standing Counsel has placed before the Court the instructions so
                                    received by him, which are taken on record.

                                    2. According to instructions, the representation has been decided on
                                    18.04.2026. Copy of the order passed by the opposite party has been handed
                                    over to the applicant's counsel during the Court proceedings.

                                    3. In view of said fact, as the order of writ Court was only to the extent to
                                    decide the representation which the authorities have done, present contempt
                                    application is rendered infructuous and the same stands dismissed.
