Snehashis Sarkar v. Anindita Chowdhuty

16-05-2023 sl. no. 59 tkm/ct. 28 CPAN 1460 of 2022 Snehashis Sarkar

Versus

Anindita Chowdhury Mr. Ovik Sengupta Mr. Sujoy Sarkar Mr. Rahul Chachan ....for the petitioner Heard learned lawyer for the petitioner.

The application for contempt arises out of a custody dispute. Earlier, a habeas corpus application was filed. Thereafter, parties are litigating before the District Judge. It is contended alleged contemnor has violated orders of the District Judge permitting visitation rights to the petitioner. There are alternative and efficacious remedies available under the Code to seek implementation of lawful orders passed by the Civil Court as well for punishment of the disobedient party.

In view of existence of alternative remedy invocation of contempt jurisdiction is unwarranted.
