On the other hand, Mr. Prahlad Sharma, the learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that a general order was passed by this Court which has not been complied by the contemnors. 4. Mr. Prahlad Sharma, the learned counsel for the petitioner has relied on an order passed by this Court in D.B. Civil Contempt Petition No.588/2013 to submit that this Court has taken cognizance of the matter notwithstanding the provisions contained under Section 20 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. 5. In the order dated 17th March, 2016, this Court has passed the following order:- “The instant contempt petition has been filed by the petitioner alleging violation of the order dated 18.11.1999 passed by the Division Bench of this Court in D.B. Special Appeal (Writ) No.780/1997 [2025:RJ-JP:18000-DB] (3 of 3) [CCP-407/2023] and other connected appeals. It has been alleged that in spite of the said directions, still certain commercial activities are being carried out in the residential area. Counsel for the respondents, on instructions from Shri Rewat Dan, Enforcement Officer, Jaipur Development Authority, Jaipur, has stated that now the alleged misuse of residential building has been stopped and no commercial activities are going on there. In view of the said statement, this contempt petitioner has become infructuous. Ordered accordingly.” 6. Not only a decade had passed since the aforementioned contempt petition was filed in 2013 and there is no explanation by the petitioner for approaching this Court after so many years, it is pertinent to indicate that the petitioner himself has disclosed his age as 30 years in the year 2023. Quite apparently, he was a toddler aged about 4 years at the time when certain directions were issued by this Court in D.B. Special Appeal (Writ) No.780/1997 and batch of cases. 7. In view thereof, D.B. Civil Contempt Petition No. 407/2023 is dismissed. (ANAND SHARMA),J (SHREE CHANDRASHEKHAR),J DAKSH/33
