Question

Can a defendant in impugned order bring contempt against other defenda

07-Sep-2023 (In Family Law)

An order was passed by High Court against two defendants regarding payment of maintenance to their aged mother. One defendant did not make full payment , as a result the other defendant had to make the payments (hospital bills etc). Mother is no more. Is a contempt petition filed by one defendant (who paid the bills of the mother) against the other defendant (who did not pay the bill of the mother) maintainable?
