Holding
The court granted the opposite party one month to comply with the writ order and disposed of the contempt application at this stage.
Summary
The applicant filed a contempt application alleging that the opposite party failed to comply with an order dated 28‑10‑2025 issued in Writ C No. 27764/2025, which required the opposite party to decide a claim. The court examined the claim and found a prima facie case of willful disobedience but chose not to issue a notice at this stage. Instead, the court granted the opposite party an additional month to comply with the writ order, subject to service of the order via a stamped envelope provided by the applicant. The court directed the applicant to supply the necessary envelopes within two weeks and the court would forward the order to the opposite party. The opposite party was also directed to inform the applicant of compliance within a week thereafter. The court held that if compliance is not achieved, the applicant may approach the court again, and the contempt application was disposed of for now.
Issues considered
- Whether the opposite party is in contempt for wilfully disobeying the order dated 28‑10‑2025 in Writ C No. 27764/2025.
