Sandeep Sharma, J. (Oral)
By way of instant Contempt Petition, prayer has been
made on behalf of the petitioner for initiation of contempt proceedings
against the respondent for his having willfully and intentionally
disobeyed of directions contained in the order/judgment dated
11.01.2024 passed by Coordinate Bench this Court in CWP No.469 of
2024, titled as Sandeep Kumar & Ors. Vs. State of HP & Ors.
2. Careful perusal of aforesaid judgment alleged to have been
violated, reveals that this Court having taken note of the undertaking
given on behalf of the respondent to examine/ consider the case of the
petitioner in light of judgment passed by Division Bench of this Court
in CWP No. 2343 of 2020, within six weeks, disposed of the aforesaid
petition with a direction to do the needful. Since, despite there being
specific direction to do the needful, as taken note herein above,
respondent failed to decide the case of the petitioner, he has
approached this Court in the instant proceedings.
2. Mr. Raman Jamalta, learned counsel appearing on behalf
of the respondent, submits that though he has every reason to
presume that by now, judgment alleged to have been violated must
have been complied with in its totality, but if not, same would be
positively complied with within a period of two weeks from today.
3. Consequently, in view of the fair stand adopted by the
learned counsel for the respondent, this Court sees no reason to keep
the present petition alive and as such, same is accordingly disposed of
with the direction to do the needful in terms of judgment, alleged to
have been violated positively within a period of two weeks, if not
already done, failing which, petitioner would be at liberty to get the
present proceedings revived, so that appropriate action, in accordance
with law, is taken against erring officials.
