Item No.51
THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE HIMA KOHLI
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. VIJAYSEN REDDY
CONTEMPT APPEAL No.2 of 2019
AND
CONTEMPT CASE No.1338 of 2018
COMMON JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Hima Kohli)
1.
Learned counsel for the parties state in unison that in view of order dated 03.12.2018 passed by the Division Bench in Writ Appeal Nos.1062 and 1064 of 2018, no further orders are required to be passed in the present appeal for the reason that the order dated 17.04.2018 passed in Writ Petition No.8812 of 2018 was the subject matter of challenge before the Division Bench and the Division Bench had observed that the issues raised in the captioned writ petition did not survive for consideration since the Legislative Assembly itself stood dissolved and there was no requirement to adjudicate the said issues.
2. As a result, the Writ Appeal was closed with a direction that all interlocutory orders passed in the Writ Appeal would stand vacated. Similarly, the proceedings before the learned Single Judge in the contempt of court jurisdiction were also vacated. It was left open for the learned Single Judge to close the contempt case as nothing survived in the matter.
3. It is stated that despite that, the impugned order came to be passed on 15.02.2019 in disregard of the order of the Division Bench.
4. In view of the orders passed by the Division Bench in W.A.Nos.1062 and 1064 of 2018, the present Appeal is closed along with the pending applications, so is Contempt Case No.1338 of 2018.
