What did the court decide?
Since the Coordinate Bench had already taken the view in Cont. Case No.1446/2024 that the non-compliance of the order dated 26.07.2024 was not willful disobedience/non-compliance (in the light of the order dated 30.08.2024 passed by DRT, Jabalpur (M.P. & C.G.)), the present contempt petition is not maintainable and is dismissed.
