Keywords: contempt application civil, dismissed as infructuous, non-compliance, judgment and order dated 16.01.2024, Special Appeal allowed, setting aside Single Judge order, remand, notice discharged, Sudeep Shukla, Sri Partha Sarthi Sen Sharma, Principal Secretary Medical Health and Family Welfare, Alok Mishra, Manish Kumar J., Allahabad High Court Lucknow Bench, 25.02.2026. Summary: Applicants sought enforcement of compliance with the judgment and order dated 16.01.2024 through Contempt Application (Civil) No. 1433 of 2024. Since a Special Appeal against that judgment had already been allowed — setting aside the learned Single Judge's order and remanding the matter — the application had become infructuous and was dismissed as such, with any notice standing discharged.
What did the court decide?
The contempt application was dismissed as infructuous because the judgment and order dated 16.01.2024, for the alleged non-compliance of which it was filed, had been set aside by the allowed Special Appeal and the matter remanded.
