The court allowed the applicant's request for time to file a reply to the affidavit of compliance, while taking the affidavit on record.
Summary
In a civil contempt application, the applicant Magan Bihari and others alleged that a sum ordered by the writ court had not been credited to their account. The opposite party, Addl. Chief Secretary Anil Garg, filed an affidavit stating that the writ court's order had been complied with, which the court took on record. The applicant contested the affidavit, claiming non‑credit of the amount and sought additional time to file a reply. The court accepted the affidavit but allowed the applicant's prayer for time to respond, indicating that the compliance issue remains unresolved. The matter was listed for further hearing on 18 July 2025.
