A court just tossed a billionaire's attempt to punish a bank for contempt. A judge ruled dfcu Bank lawfully avoided restoring dozens of properties to Meera Investments, a company led by Sudhir Ruparelia. The court found a valid stay order that suspended the enforcement of an earlier judgment against the bank. That judgment had originally sided with Meera in a major property dispute.

The conflict involves over forty properties across Uganda. Dfcu Bank was previously ordered to vacate and repair the premises after a trespassing ruling. The bank handed back most properties but allegedly left them damaged. Meera sought massive financial penalties and restoration costs from DFCU.

Justice Samuel Emokor stated contempt requires wilful disobedience, which was not proven here. He emphasized that the stay order legally halted all related obligations. The dispute now moves fully to the Court of Appeal for a final decision. All financial claims and restoration orders remain paused until that appeal concludes.
