Holding
The contempt application is dismissed as infructuous because the opposite party has complied with the writ court order.
Summary
The applicants, Jagdish Prasad Sharma and 37 others, filed a civil contempt application (No. 4194 of 2024) against Sri L Venketesharlu, Chief/Additional Chief Secretary. The application alleged that the opposite party had failed to comply with an earlier order of the writ court. The applicants’ counsel, Gopal Das Srivastava and Prabhat Kumar Tiwari, submitted that the opposite party had in fact complied with the writ court order. The learned judge, after hearing Advocate Anil Kumar Tiwari’s statement, accepted that compliance had been achieved. Consequently, the court held that the contempt proceedings were no longer necessary. The contempt notice was therefore discharged and the application dismissed as infructuous. No further directions were issued.
