The court closed a contempt petition filed under Section 11 of the Contempt of Courts Act 1971. It held that since an FIR had already been registered regarding the same matter, no further proceedings in the contempt petition were warranted.
The contempt petition is closed without further proceedings as the matter is being prosecuted via the registered FIR.
