Respondent(s) Through: Ms. Saliqa Sheikh, Assisting Counsel vide Mr. Raman Sharma, AAG Coram: HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE ORDER 30.04.2026 Vide this petition, the petitioner seeks initiation of the contempt proceedings against the respondents for willful violation of the order and judgment dated March 20, 2017 passed by the Writ Court in SWP No. 2369/2014 (Khalil Ahmed vs. State of J&K & ors.). A bare reading of the order referred to above reveals that the petition preferred by the petitioner was disposed of by the Writ Court with a direction to the competent Authority to consider the claim of the petitioner in the wake of the order dated March 08, 2017 passed by the State Government by passing a speaking order and further, before any such order is passed, he as also the respondent No. 5 be afforded an opportunity of hearing. 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.
