For the Appellants/Petitioners: N.MUHAMMAD SAJU

Contempt action is dismissed due to lack of grounds regarding non-compliance, with preservation of other legal remedies.

Headnote:The petitioners allege non-compliance by the respondent regarding a child custody arrangement; however, the court finds no grounds for contempt, as other compliance with court directions is not disputed. The court emphasizes that while contempt action is dismissed, it does not preclude other available legal remedies. Therefore, the contempt action is closed, preserving other legal remedies.

Table of Content
1. allegation of non-compliance regarding child custody. (Para 1)
2. court finds no contempt grounds linking to compliance. (Para 2)
3. contempt case closed with emphasis on other legal remedies. (Para 3)

Devan Ramachandran , J.

The allegation of the petitioners in this case is that the respondent – mother has not taken the child with her, though undertaken before this Court.

2. We cannot understand how the afore becomes a ground for initiating contempt action, particularly when the petitioners do not whisperingly say that any of the other directions in the judgment have not been complied with.

3. Obviously, the attempt of the petitioners is experimental.

This contempt case is, therefore, closed; however, clarifying that every other remedy available to the parties in law is not precluded.
