Background

This Contempt of Court Case has been ongoing since 2019, with the court repeatedly directing the petitioner to file a rejoinder affidavit. However, despite these orders, the petitioner has failed to do so, leading the court to finally dismiss the case.

Arguments

The petitioner's counsel pleaded for more time to file the rejoinder affidavit, but the court found no reason to keep the Contempt of Court Case alive, given the lack of response from the petitioner.

Court's Analysis and Reasoning

The court noted that the Contempt of Court Case had been listed before it on multiple occasions since 2019, and yet the petitioner had not filed the required rejoinder affidavit as directed in the order dated 12.06.2019. The court stated that it did not see any reason to keep the case alive, despite the plea from the petitioner's counsel for further time.

Decision

The court has decided to close the Contempt of Court Case, citing the petitioner's failure to file the rejoinder affidavit as directed. This decision underscores the importance of complying with court orders and the consequences for failing to do so.
