Holding
The court held that while a prima facie case of contempt existed, it would not punish the opposite party at this stage but instead granted further time to comply and disposed of the contempt application.
Summary
The applicant filed a contempt application alleging that the opposite party willfully disobeyed the judgment and order dated 05.12.2025 in Writ Petition (C) No. 42926 of 2025. The court noted that a prima facie case of contempt existed but, at this stage, no notice was issued to the opposite party. Instead, the court granted the opposite party an additional three months to comply with the order, subject to service of the order through a self‑addressed envelope. The applicant was directed to provide stamped envelopes for service, and the opposite party was required to intimate compliance within a week of receipt. The court held that if compliance is not achieved, the applicant may approach the court again, and the contempt application was disposed of without a contempt finding.
