Brief summary (three sentences)
The appeal arose from a Patna High Court order that had set aside a trial court order initiating contempt proceedings in a pending title suit between the parties. The Supreme Court held that the trial court was required to adjudicate the application under Order XXXIX Rule 2A CPC in accordance with law and, if an inquiry was sought, to afford reasonable opportunity to both sides in that inquiry. Accordingly, the Court set aside both the High Court’s order dated 03.09.2025 and the trial court’s order dated 07.09.2019, and restored the application under Order XXXIX Rule 2A CPC to the trial court’s file for fresh consideration.
