AI extract
What is this about?
Contempt application (civil) dismissed for absence of willful disobedience; alleged non-compliance with Allahabad High Court order dated 20.3.2024 in Writ-C No. 3994 of 2024 was attributable to Bar strike — hearings could not proceed on most fixed dates and no counsel appeared to argue. Applicant: Shiv Ji (counsel Ziya Uddin); opposite party: Sub District Magistrate, Ballia Sadar. Decided 11.2.2025 by Salil Kumar Rai, J.; no statute or precedent discussed; no quantum involved.
What did the court decide?
On the order-sheet, the case could not be heard by the Presiding Officer on most dates fixed because the members of the Bar were on strike and no counsel appeared to argue the case; accordingly the non-compliance was not willful. ¶8
