The present contempt petition has been filed for disobedience and violation of judgment and decree dated 04.07.2022 passed by Learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Ludhiana. 2. A perusal of judgment and decree dated 04.07.2022 shows that suit filed by petitioner-plaintiff is decreed in his favour. However, no direction is given. In fact, the petitioner is seeking execution of judgment and decree dated 04.07.2022 passed by Learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Ludhiana by filing the present contempt petition. Contempt jurisdiction cannot be invoked as a substitute for execution of decree. 3. Since the Court was inclined to impose costs for filing such a misconceived petition, learned counsel for the petitioner prayed for withdrawal of the present contempt petition. 4. In view of the above, Civil Original Contempt Petition is dismissed as withdrawn. 5. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
