Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
Petitioners alleged wilful non-compliance by health authorities of a writ order directing payment within six months. The court found that, as the violated order dated back to 23.10.2017, the contempt petition was expressly barred by the one-year limitation under Section 20 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, and closed it.
What did the court decide?
None granted; contempt petition closed, petitioners free to seek other remedies in accordance with law.
