ORDER
Date : 06.04.2026
This contempt petition is filed for non-compliance of the Court's order
dated 23.03.2023 passed in WP(C)/183/2016.
Mr. N. R. Sarma, learned counsel submits that he has filed his power to
appear on behalf of the respondent No.2 this morning.
It is however seen that there is already a Vakalatnama filed by the
engaged counsels of respondent No.2 and their names have also been reflected
in the cause list. A fresh Vakalatanama is said to have been filed by Mr. N. R.
Page No.# 10/10
Sarma, learned counsel since the other counsels are the earlier Standing
Counsels for the BTC. It is however seen that the present case is not a writ
petition but a contempt petition by which the alleged contemnors are arrayed by
as party by name. It is not understood as to how the earlier counsels can be
replaced by subsequent counsels on the ground that the earlier counsels are no
more the standing counsels of the BTC.
Be that as it may, the main concern here is regarding the compliance of
the Court's direction. The respondent BTC in the writ petition is said to have
filed a writ appeal along with application for condoning of delay. The said
application was also dismissed on 25.03.2026 due to non-prosecution. Mr. N. R.
Sarma, learned counsel submits an application for restoration of the I.A. along
with the writ appeal has been filed on 04.04.2026.
Considering the submission, let the matter be listed again on 08.05.2026.
It is also made clear that mere pendency of application for codonation of
the delay in filing the writ appeal shall not be a ground for not proceeding with
the respondents in this contempt petition.
