Si (Gd) Ajay Khungur Daimari v. Shri Ajay Kumar Bhalla and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
The Court dismissed a contempt petition alleging violation of a status quo order by demoting the petitioner. The Court held that the violation was not deliberate as the respondents acted on a bonafide belief that the demotion order had been passed prior to the court's stay, even though it was served later.
What did the court decide?
Contempt petition disposed of with clarification that petitioner shall be permitted to work on the post of SI (GD) till further orders in WP(C) 1637/2024.
