Civil contempt petition under Sections 11 and 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 alleging disobedience of interim order dated 04.12.2023 in I.A.No.1/2023 in W.P.No.51420/2019 (L-RES). Dismissed for non-prosecution: office objections not complied with despite sufficient opportunity and third listing; no representation for complainant even on second call. No merits adjudication of the alleged contempt.
What did the court decide?
Despite granting sufficient opportunity to comply with the office objection, the same has not been complied with; the matter was listed for compliance of office objection for the third time and there was no representation for the complainant even on the second call; hence the contempt case is dismissed for non-prosecution.
