Summary
The applicant, Subhash Chandra Mishra, filed a contempt application against the Director of Basic Education, Mr. Pratap Singh Baghel, alleging non‑compliance with a writ order dated 25 January 2024. The respondent appeared before the court and submitted a compliance affidavit stating that the ordered amount of Rs.3,16,258, together with interest and costs, was credited to the applicant's account on 12 March 2026. The court examined the affidavit and found that the writ order had been fully complied with. Consequently, the court held that the contempt application was rendered infructuous. The contempt petition was therefore dismissed and the bailable warrant issued earlier was discharged.
