A contempt petition is rendered infructuous and is liable to be closed when the respondent satisfactorily demonstrates compliance with the underlying court order, as acknowledged by the petitioner.
Headnote:The petitioner filed a contempt petition under S. 11 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, alleging wilful disobedience of the court's earlier order dated 28.07.2025 passed in a writ petition. The court evaluated the compliance status presented by the respondent. The core issue was whether the respondent had committed wilful disobedience of the judicial directive. The court observed that the compliance was confirmed through official proceedings produced by the counsel for the respondent, which was duly acknowledged by the counsel for the petitioner. The court ordered that the contempt petition be closed as the grievance had been addressed through compliance.
