entertain the instant contempt proceedings against the wilful

in OWP No. 327/2015.
2. The writ petition was subsequently disposed of finally

by a Division Bench of this Court, whereby a direction was
issued to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner
for regularization in tune with the scheme of law and in lieu of
his proprietary land, which is utilized for the purpose of water

also disposed of CPOWP No. 488/2016 with the liberty to the
petitioner to review the contempt petition in case the final
judgment dated 17th February, 2022, passed in OWP No.
327/2015 is not complied with.

comply with the judgment, the contempt petition CPOWP No.

to the directions passed by the Division Bench of this Court on
17th February, 2022, while disposing of the CPOWP No.

contempt petition alleging violation of the final order dated 17th
February, 2022.
5. In view of the clarification made above, the respondents
are given one more opportunity of six weeks' to comply with the
final judgment dated 17th February, 2022, failing which this
