Mr. K Jayaram v. Devika Devi
Case brief
What is this about?
Karnataka High Court disposed of civil contempt proceedings filed for willful disobedience of an order. Holding that belated compliance negated the case for contempt, the Court discharged the notice and quashed the proceedings without attributing fault to any specific individual other than the petitioner.
What did the court decide?
Notice issued earlier discharged; petition disposed of as no case made out to initiate action under the Contempt of Court Act, 1971 due to belated compliance.
