(Bombay High Court)The Bombay High Court considered a contempt petition alleging violation of its order dated 21.01.2026 by 10 Customs officials.
It held that merely interpreting a Court order differently does not constitute contempt unless wilful or deliberate violation is established.
The contempt petition was accordingly closed and disposed of.
Heard the Contempt Petition finally, with the consent of the parties.
In view thereof, the Contempt Petition is not maintainable and deserves to be dismissed.
