In Brief
This case involved a contempt petition filed in connection with a civil appeal. The Supreme Court found that in view of an order already passed in the related Civil Appeal (arising out of SLP No. 5449 of 2015) on 2nd July 2019, the contempt petition had become infructuous—meaning it no longer served any practical legal purpose. Accordingly, the Court dismissed the contempt petition. All pending applications related to the petition were also disposed of.
