3. Summary:
The Court revisited a contempt matter and noted that the Government Pleader had been directed to obtain instructions, a directive that remains unfulfilled. The Court warned that failure to comply would compel it to order the respondent’s appearance. Consequently, the respondent is ordered to appear personally or via video conference on 29.05.2026. The order remains subject to modification if the directions are later complied with or the judgment is varied. A copy of this order is to be sent to the Government Pleader, who will inform the respondent. The Court retains discretion to dispense with the appearance if compliance occurs before the date.

4. Conclusion:
Injunction Granted
Judgment :-

When this contempt case came up for consideration, this Court directed the Government Pleader to get instructions and posted the case to this day. This Court specifically stated that, if the directions are not complied, this Court will be forced to order appearance. Even now, the directions are not complied with. Therefore, the respondent is directed to appear before this Court in person or through video conference on 29.05.2026.

Post on 29.05.2026. In the meanwhile, if the directions are complied with or if the judgment is varied or modified, the appearance is dispensed with.

Issue a copy of this order to the Government Pleader, who will communicate the same to the respondent.
