Dr. Nani Gopal Goswami and Anr v. Mukesh Chandra Sahu, Ias

ORDER

17.07.2024

Heard Shri MP Sarma, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Shri R Dhar, learned counsel appearing for the sole respondent. Shri Dhar, learned counsel by referring to the affidavit-in-opposition dated

24.11.2022 has submitted that the order dated 16.03.2020 passed in WP(C)/5168/2014 has been complied with. Shri Sarma, learned counsel for the petitioner, however, submits that there is a dispute with regard to the amount released. A Court adjudicating a petition wherein there is complaint of non-compliance is required to be prima facie satisfied as to whether such non-compliance is willful and deliberate. In the instant case, it is seen that there is substantial compliance with the aforesaid order of this Court and therefore, there is no reason to keep this contempt petition alive. Accordingly, the contempt petition stands closed, however, giving liberty to the petitioner to make a challenge in an appropriate forum regarding the amount involved.
