ORDER
Order No.
04. 13.02.2026
The complaint alleges non-compliance of the order dated 17.02.2025 passed in W.A. No.3094 of 2024.
Learned counsel appearing for the complainant submits that similar orders, on being challenged before the Apex Court in various SLPs, have attained finality. The said SLPs have been negatived. He further submits that in this case, the State has preferred SLP before the Apex Court and the same is still pending for removal of defects.
Learned AGA, in all fairness, submits that since similar matters have attained finality at the level of the Apex Court of the country, the order dated 17.02.2025 entered in the W.A. No.3094 of 2024 would be implemented in its letter & spirit within an outer limit of eight week weeks. Therefore, she shall be no prayer for extension of period.
In the event, the order is not complied with, that would be a case of aggravated contempt and therefore, will attract aggravated punishment/fine
With the above observation, the contempt proceedings are dropped for the time being with liberty to the complainant to seek its revival, if the words given to the Court are not kept.
Web copy of order to be acted upon by all concerned.
