E.P.Gopinathan v. Tom Jose and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
In a Civil Contempt case, the court was satisfied that a 12-month delay in issuing the final administrative order regarding financial matters did not amount to willful default, as the beneficiary had received benefits under the judgment, and thus dismissed the contempt proceedings.
What did the court decide?
Contempt case closed; no further relief granted to the petitioner in these proceedings as the delay was not willful default.
