The complainant has filed the present complaint alleging willful disobedience of the order dated 18.03.2025 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court in Writ Petition No.1463/2025. 2. A plain reading of the said order indicates that the Court had directed that the complainant be permitted to participate in parents teachers meetings. The Court has also directed that the complainant would be updated in all aspects as a parent by - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:5872-DB CCC No. 978 of 2025 providing access to the children's school records, progress reports and shall be included in relevant correspondences. The Court further directed that the complainant would be included in all decisions made with regard to the minor children. 3. There is no dispute that the complainant has been attending the parents teachers meetings. However, it is the complainant's grievance that he has not been included in certain vital decisions regarding the education of the children including the choice of second language. In addition, learned counsel for the complainant submits that the complainant has not been provided a copy of the weekly progress reports (i.e., school diary). 4. Insofar as certain decisions regarding the school curriculum are concerned, the learned counsel for the accused submits that the same would be communicated to the complainant. A photocopy of the current sheet of the school diary indicating the comments on the progress of the children will also be communicated to the complainant. 5. In view of the above, we do not consider it apposite to initiate any proceedings under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:5872-DB CCC No. 978 of 2025 6.
