case which involves committal proceedings brought by Abbas Ali, a businessman and Managing Director of Juxta Beach (Fiji) Pte Limited and The Fantasy Company Pte Limited, against King Anwar Hussain and Jadhav Prakashan for contempt of court orders. The core issue stems from a previous settlement related to Civil Action No. * of *, in which the respondents obtained ex-parte orders. A settlement was reached, and consent orders were issued by the court on August *, *, which included the withdrawal of the action and a prohibition on bringing similar claims in the future.
However, the respondents allegedly breached these orders by filing new proceedings (Civil Action No. * of *) involving the same facts as the earlier case. As a result, Abbas Ali applied for committal proceedings, asserting that the respondents willfully disobeyed the court’s consent orders. Despite the respondents' defenses claiming lack of knowledge of the orders and pressure from the applicant, the court is tasked with determining whether the breach was deliberate and wilful, given that the orders were clear and had been properly served
