Court allows closure of contempt proceeding due to stay on operative judgment.

Headnote:In this contempt of court case, the petitioner asserted non-compliance with a prior judgment. The Court noted the filing of an extension petition by the respondent and stated that the operation of the prior judgment was stayed, highlighting that if further violations occur, a new contempt case could be filed. The Court ultimately closed this case.

JUDGMENT

Today, when the matter came up for consideration, the Government Pleader submitted that an extension petition has been filed by the respondent and the operation of the judgment itself has been stayed by this Court. If that is the case, this Contempt Case need not be retained here. If there is any further violation, the petitioner is free to file a fresh Contempt Case.

With the above observations, this Contempt Case (C) is closed.
