Smt K H Bhagyavathamma v. Sri Madhusudhan C
Case brief
What is this about?
In this contempt petition under the Contempt of Courts Act, the Court noted that the accused filed a statutory appeal challenging an order passed under the Bruhuth Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike Act. Since that appeal was admitted and the original order stayed, holding no further relief. The Court directed the complainant to approach the appropriate forum if aggrieved.
What did the court decide?
The contempt petition was disposed of as the custody on which the grievance rested survived the admission and stay order in the appeal.
