Case brief
What is this about?
Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench; Contempt Application (Civil) No. 1325 of 2025; Sadhna Dubey v. Sri Abhishek Singh-III, Civil Judge Junior Division Tanda/JM Ambedkar Nagar; Rajeev Singh, J.; order dated 2.5.2025; contempt for willful disobedience of order dated 8.5.2024 in Application U/S 483 Cr.P.C. No. 242 of 2024 (Sadhna Dubey v. State of U.P. & Ors.) directing expedition of DV Act Section 12 Case No. 629 of 2021; delay due to complainant not producing witness for cross-examination; no contempt made out; contempt application dismissed.
What did the court decide?
On the order sheet annexed with the application, adjournments in Case No.629 of 2021 were granted because the complainant mostly failed to produce her witness before the court below for cross-examination; the delay was therefore not attributable to the respondent judge.
