Cont.Cas(C)/36/2025 of Lalhliapa and 2 Ors. Vs Sh Khili Ram Meena and 3 Ors. on 4 March 2026

ORDER

05.03.2026 Heard Mr. Victor L. Ralte, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. Also heard Mrs. Mary L. Khiangte, learned counsel represents all the respondents.

2. The instant contempt proceedings was initiated by the petitioners alleging non-compliance and disobedience with regard to Judgment and Order dated 13.11.2024 in WA No. 6/2023.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the meantime the respondents have complied with the direction given in the aforesaid Judgment and in support of the same he submits a notification of the Government of Mizoram, School Education Department dated 23.02.2026.

4. It is submitted that in view of the compliance with the Judgment and Order dated 13.11.2024 passed by the Division Bench of this Court in WA No. 6/2023, the contempt petition can be closed.

5. It is well settled that after an alleged willful disobedience of the Court’s order pointed out by the petitioner the matter of contempt becomes essentially between the Court and the alleged Contemnor if any, and that

the contempt jurisdiction is not really for the purpose of execution of the Court’s orders. Nevertheless, the aspect of full compliance with the Judgment giving rise to the contempt proceeding also cannot be overlooked.

6. Therefore, in view of the latest developments, I deem it to just and proper to close the contempt proceedings.

7. Accordingly, Contempt Petition No. 36/2025 is hereby closed and disposed of.

8. The notification dated 23.02.2026 be marked as ‘X’ and be part of the record.
