Con.Case(C) NO. 61 OF 2026 | WP(C) NO.4654 OF 2025

The contempt proceedings cannot proceed when there is an interim stay order active from a Writ Appeal.

Headnote:The judgment addresses the proceedings of a contempt of court case relating to a Writ Petition. The court acknowledged an ongoing Writ Appeal with an interim stay and concluded that the contempt proceedings cannot proceed at this time, allowing the petitioner to reopen the matter post the Writ Appeal outcome. The court primarily finds that the contempt case remains non-proceedable due to the stay order in place. The court grants the petitioner liberty to reopen the matter based on the writ appeal outcome.

Result: Contempt of Court Case is closed.
