As per case facts, the Petitioner filed a contempt petition alleging deliberate disobedience of a prior High Court order which directed the State to register FIRs for cognizable offenses and
...follow a specific Act. The Respondents submitted a compliance affidavit detailing steps taken, including registration of an FIR and constitution of a Special Investigation Team for investigation into alleged embezzlement and other offenses. The Petitioner, however, sought further directions for FIRs against police officers and a CBI investigation, despite prior related petitions being withdrawn or disposed of. The question arose whether the Respondents had willfully disobeyed the Court's order and if the current petition constituted a legitimate legal action. Finally, the Court found that the Respondents had complied with the directions and that the Petitioner was habitually filing frivolous contempt petitions, misusing the judicial process, and harassing officials. Citing Supreme Court precedents against vexatious litigation, the petition was dismissed with substantial costs to deter such abuse of the legal system.
