Allahabad High Court

GULAB CHANDRAversusRAVINDRA KUMAR

Decided: 17 September 2026
Bench: VIKAS BUDHWAR

Holding

The contempt application is consigned to the record, permitting the applicant to seek redress in the appropriate forum.

Summary

The applicant, Gulab Chandra, filed a contempt application alleging that the order of the Writ Court (Writ‑C No. 68719 of 2024) had been complied with when a subsequent order was passed on 01‑09‑2026. Counsel for the applicant, Mangal Rai, stated this compliance at the Bar. The High Court noted the submission and consigned the contempt application to the record, allowing the applicant to challenge the order in the appropriate forum. No substantive hearing on the merits was conducted, and the matter was left open for further proceedings. The court also recorded the instructions filed as Appendices A and B.

Issues considered

What is the appropriate forum for challenging the order passed on 01‑09‑2026?
Does the alleged compliance with the Writ‑Court order negate the contempt application?
