For the Respondents: GP SMT DEEPA V

Contempt proceedings are inappropriate when the primary writ petition is pending, allowing the petitioner to seek redress within that framework.

Headnote:The court addresses the contempt case concerning the violation of the interim order dated 13.05.2025 in WP

(C) No.16906/2025. The court determines that, given the ongoing writ petition, a separate contempt case is unnecessary, and the petitioner is granted liberty to file an application within the pending case. The court refrains from entertaining this case further. The conclusions reaffirm the authority of the ongoing writ petition.

JUDGMENT

This contempt case is filed alleging violation of the interim order dated 13.05.2025 in WP(C) No.16906/2025. Admittedly, the writ petition is pending and is to be heard by the same Bench. In such circumstances, a separate contempt case need not be entertained. The petitioner can file appropriate application in the pending writ petition if there is any violation of the interim order.

Granting liberty to the petitioner to file appropriate application in the pending writ petitioner, this contempt case is closed. All the contentions raised by the petitioner in this contempt case are left open.
