Allahabad High Court

DHRUWA KANT YADAV AND ANOTHERversusPANKAJ MISHRA

Decided: 22 September 2026
Bench: VIKAS BUDHWAR

Holding

The contempt application was dismissed because the order sought to be enforced had already been complied with.

Summary

The applicants, Dhruwa Kant Yadav and another, filed a contempt application before the Allahabad High Court seeking enforcement of a Writ Court order. Counsel for the applicants informed the Court that the order had already been complied with by the opposite party. On this basis, the Court found that there was no pending breach of the order. Consequently, the Court held that there was nothing left to adjudicate in the contempt proceeding. The contempt application was therefore consigned to the record, effectively dismissing it.
