John Victor – Appellant
Versus
Chelساسin.V – Respondent
CON.CASE(C) NO. 677 OF 2024|WP(C) NO.19042 OF 2015

Contempt closed upon claimed compliance, liberty given to challenge order's adequacy.

Headnote:The petitioner initiated contempt proceedings alleging non-compliance with the High Court's judgment dated 25.09.2023 in W.P.

(C) No.19042/2015. The respondent claimed issuance of an order in compliance. The court noted the petitioner's submission that the order was not in full compliance but permitted challenge thereto. The contempt case was closed with liberty to the petitioner to challenge the compliance order separately. Issues framed involved adequacy of compliance with the prior judgment. The ratio decidendi is that partial compliance warrants closure of contempt with liberty to pursue further remedies. Contempt case closed.
