THIS CCC IS FILED UNDER SECTIONS 11 & 12 OF THE

CONTEMPT OF COURTS ACT, PRAYING TO PUNISH THE ACCUSED

FOR HAVING DISOBEYED THE ORDERS OF THIS HON'BLE COURT

IN WP NO.4717/2020 DATED 23.07.2021 AFTER ISSUING

NOTICE TO THE ACCUSED AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION

AGAINST THE ACCUSED AND ETC.

THIS CCC COMING ON FOR ORDERS THROUGH VIDEO

CONFERENCING THIS DAY, CHIEF JUSTICE MADE THE

- 19 -

ORDER

Heard.

2. Accused No.1-Professor M.Kotresh, Registrar,

Bangalore University is present through video conferencing.

I.A.No.1/2022 has been filed for recall of the order dated

14.06.2022 passed by this Court. The cause shown in the

application for recall of the order dated 14.06.2022 is

sufficient. I.A.No.1/2022 stands allowed.

3. This contempt petition arises out of the

judgment and order dated 23.07.2021 passed in

W.P.No.4717/2020 whereby, accused No.1-University was

required to take a decision on the representation of the

petitioners/students for shifting them to another institution

after due correspondence with accused No.2-National

Council for Teacher Education (NCTE).

4. Learned counsel for accused No.1-University

submits that in compliance of the writ Court's direction, the

University has recommended shifting of petitioners to

Dhanvantri College of Education. The NCTE has to take final

- 20 -

decision. The NCTE has not taken any decision due to

which, the petitioners/students have not been admitted to

the recommended college. It is submitted that accused

No.1 has not disobeyed the writ Court's direction, as such,

no contempt is made out against him.

5. We have considered the submissions made by

learned counsel for the complainants as well as learned

counsel for accused No.1.

6. We are of the view that in absence of any

decision having been taken by NCTE, accused No.1 cannot

be faulted and hauled up in the contempt proceedings. We

do not find any willful disobedience or non-compliance on

the part of accused No.1. As such, the contempt petition is

dismissed, however, with liberty to the complainants to

approach appropriate forum seeking any direction or relief

against NCTE.
