Authority: High Court (Bench of Justice Sabyasachi Bhattacharyya)
Order Date: 10 July 2026
Case Overview
- Parties: Petitioner Adya Projects Private Limited vs. respondent Swapan Kumar Rana and others; alleged contemnor Ms. Parna Roy Choudhury.
- Background: The petition relies on a prior order dated 5 December 2019 in W.P. 21968 (2019) granting interim relief restraining respondents from effecting a sale of security interest notice issued by respondent No.8.
- Allegation: Petitioner claimed respondents violated the stay by communicating loan repayment demands, constituting contempt.
- Court’s Observations: The court noted that mere communication by bank officials demanding loan repayment does not amount to execution of the stayed sale notice; petitioner had also sought a one‑time settlement with the bank.
- Reasoning: No contumacious act by the bank was identified; the sale notice remained stayed; therefore, no contempt occurred.
Final Outcome
- The contempt application (CPAN 1757 of 2025) is dismissed as non‑maintainable, without any order as to costs; certified copies to be provided upon compliance with formalities.
