HIGH COURT OF JAMMU & KASHMIR AND LADAKH AT JAMMU CJ Court Case: CPSW No. 345/2017 in SWP No. 2662/2016 Shyam Kumar Gandotra ….. Appellant/Petitioner(s) Through: None Vs Sourabh Bhagat .…. Respondent(s) Through: None Coram: HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE ORDER 30.04.2026 Vide this petition, the petitioner seeks initiation of the contempt proceedings against the respondents owing to willful defiance of the order and judgment dated December 16, 2016, rendered by the Writ Court in SWP No. 2662/2016 (Shyam Kumar Gandotra vs. State & ors.). A bare reading of the order referred to above reveals that the petition preferred by the petitioner was disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to submit a representation as regards his concerns/grievances to the respondent No. 2 within a specified time and the authorities concerned were required to pass a speaking order thereon in the wake of the order dated March 28, 2016 rendered by the Division Bench of this Court in LPA No. 186/2006. The petition is pending since 2017 and nearly a decade has gone by. None is present either on behalf of the petitioner to clarify if anything actually survives for consideration in the matter. That being so, the Court is choiceless, but to dismiss the petition for non-prosecution. ( (ARUN PALLI) CHIEF JUSTICE Jammu 30.04.2026 Pawan Chopra/Secy.
