Case Synopsis & Summary
This contempt petition concerns willful disobedience of the Supreme Court judgment dated 29 July 2022 in Civil Appeal No. 4987 of 2022. The matter was heard by a Division Bench of the Supreme Court comprising Justices B. R. Gavai and C. T. Ravikumar. In its judgment dated 29 July 2022, the Court recorded various directions in paragraph 18 and, on 14 September 2022, issued an additional direction identified as direction 18(v). The new directive requires the petitioner-husband to refrain from taking any coercive steps against the respondent-wife in proceedings pending in the Superior Court of Washington, County of King, United States of America. Further, the Court ordered the parties to file a joint application before the said Washington court, duly signed by their respective counsel, seeking to mirror the Supreme Court judgment dated 29 July 2022. The matter was listed 10 days later to enable the parties to place on record the mirror order. The order, signed by Ankit Gyan and assisted by Aarsh Choudhary (LCRA), reflects the Court’s effort to ensure cross-border compliance and cooperation in contempt proceedings by mirroring the domestic judgment in a foreign forum. The proceedings record counsel appearing for the parties, and the directive is categorized under the Court’s orderly management of the case.
