Contempt of Court | Physical Possession Restoration Mandatory to Purge Violation of Interim Status Quo Order : Bombay HC
Bombay HC rules that mere cancellation of a sale deed does not remedy contempt of an interim protection order; actual restoration of physical possession is essential to undo the breach. The judgment underscores that violating status quo through possession transfer-even if later reversed-constitutes contempt, affecting property dispute litigants and enforcement of court orders.
