HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE VALMIKIJ.MEHTA
ORDER o/o 11.10.2017 Contempt petitions are not pressed without prejudice to the claim and contentions ofthe petitioner in the contempt petitions thatthere is in fact a contempt committed by the respondent in the contempt petitions.
In any case, since the powers of contempt are discretionary and the main appeal has been disposed ofin view ofthe consent order between the parties dated 21.3.2016,therefore,in my opinion, no useful purpose will be served by continuing these contempt petitions and which are disposed of accordingly.
