Case brief
What is this about?
Calcutta High Court (10.04.2025, Reetobroto Kumar Mitra, J.) dismissed contempt petition CPAN 1121 of 2019 (Tarak Mondal v. Prafulla Mondal & Ors.) alleging breach of the 2nd July 2019 order in WP 9475 (W) of 2019 requiring private respondents (nos. 6 to 10) to burn leftover straw away from the petitioner's residence; court found no evidence of violation, held the time-bound order could not apply for ever, and dismissed the petition without costs.
What did the court decide?
There is no iota of evidence that the straw was burnt in violation of the order dated 2nd July, 2019; the contempt petition rests on a bare pleading. ¶13
