LUCKNOW GOLF CLUB, LUCKNOW vs PRASHANT CHANDRA

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's issuance of notice for contempt under Section 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act was unjustified as no case for contempt was established. The Court emphasized that the conduct of the parties, including multiple adjournments, contributed to the delays in proceedings. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, the impugned order was set aside, and the contempt petition was dismissed.
