What did the court decide?
As nobody appeared for the petitioner on the date of hearing (and on the two preceding dates, 25.04.2025 and 16.09.2025), the contempt petition was dismissed in default for non-prosecution and disposed of; the sentence continues in the source with 'prosecution and disposed of.'
