Judgment text as reported

WING COMMANDER (R) GUL ABBAS MELA VS COL. (RETD.) IHTISHAM ANWAR S.3---Contempt of Court---Execution of order passed by High Court in constitutional jurisdiction---Scope---Petitioner sought initiation of contempt proceedings against the respondents for non-compliance of the High Court's order whereby a settlement deed was arrived at---Validity---Order passed by the High Court in Constitutional petition could not be taken as a decree, which could be executed in a contempt petition or otherwise---Even if the petitioner's contention that settlement deed had become part of the Court's order was considered, the same could not be enforced, for the reason that terms of settlement deal were changed materially---Contempt jurisdiction was only meant for criminal proceedings against the respondents, if the Court was convinced that contempt of Court was so committed and no direction for amendment in any order could be made in that situation---Contempt petition was dismissed with the observation that the petitioner could approach the appropriate Court of plenary jurisdiction for execution of settlement deed or subsequent events agreed between the parties.
