A contempt petition is liable to be closed when the respondent satisfies the court that the order allegedly violated has been duly complied with.

Headnote:The petitioner filed a contempt petition alleging willful disobedience of a court order. The relevant legal framework involves the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. Upon review, the court was informed that the respondent had complied with the directions given in the earlier order. The court observed that since the compliance was confirmed, no further action was required. The core issue was whether the respondent willfully disobeyed the court directive. The ratio decidendi is based on the principle that where a mandate of the court has been satisfied, the purpose of a contempt petition is exhausted, and the proceedings must terminate. The final outcome is that the contempt petition is closed.
