Abhishek Tripathi and 2 Others v. Shri Pratap Singh Baghel, the Director of (Secondary) Education
Case brief
What is this about?
The applicants alleged noncompliance with a writ-court order directing the Director of Secondary Education to take action. The court found prima facie grounds for punishing the opposite party for willful disobedience, but did not issue notice at that stage. It allowed two months for compliance after service of a certified copy, directed the applicants to arrange service, and finally disposed of the contempt application with liberty to approach the court again if the order remained unimplemented.
What did the court decide?
The opposite party was granted two months from production of a certified copy of the order to comply with the writ-court directions.

The applicant may approach the court aga
