Raja Ram Verma and Another v. Ms. Sumitra Dawra Secy. Ministry of Labour/Employment Shram Shakti Bhawan New Delhi and Others
Case brief
What is this about?
Contempt application (civil) dismissed as misconceived by Manish Kumar, J., High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench, order dated 16.1.2025. Application alleged non-compliance of judgment and order dated 18.01.2024 in Writ C No. 3882 of 2023, which had disposed of the writ petition upholding Union of India's preliminary objection and left petitioners free to pursue other remedies for execution of the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner (Central), Kanpur order. Court found no direction existed in the 18.01.2024 judgment restraining refusal of any remedy or directing any authority; refusal to entertain the applicant's execution case was thus not contempt. No statutes or precedents cited.
What did the court decide?
The judgment and order dated 18.01.2024 in Writ C No. 3882 of 2023 contained no direction that a remedy availed by the applicants could not be refused, nor any direction to any authority before whom the applicant may seek his remedy.
