Holding

The plaintiff's application for contempt is dismissed with costs.

Facts

The plaintiff filed a suit in 2016, and for the last 6 years, the parties have engaged in interlocutory applications. The plaintiff sought an order for the defendant's committal to civil jail for contempt of an injunction order from April 11, 2017.

Issues

  1. Whether the defendant committed contempt of court
  2. Whether the defendant's construction on Plot No 1508 was in violation of the injunction order

Reasoning

The court found no evidence that the defendant committed contempt, as the temporary iron sheet structure was in place as of the issuance of the injunction order and was not on Plot No 1508.

Outcome

The application for contempt is dismissed.

Orders

  • The application for contempt is dismissed with costs.
