IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA COPC No.541 of 2025 Date of Decision: 6.6.2025 _____________________________________________________________________ Jagat Ram ……...Petitioner Versus Nipun Jindal and Ors …....Respondents Coram Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sandeep Sharma, Judge. Whether approved for reporting? For the Petitioner: Mr. Ashok Kumar and Ms. Rakesh Kumar, Advocates. For the Respondent: Mr. Rahul Thakur, Advocate. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sandeep Sharma, J. (Oral) By way of present contempt petition, prayer has been made by the petitioner for initiation of contempt proceedings against the respondents for their having willfully and intentionally disobeyed the directions contained in order/judgment dated 24.10.2024, passed in CWP No. 10654 of 2024, whereby coordinate Bench of this Court disposed of the petition with direction to the competent authority to consider and decide case of the petitioner within six weeks. Since despite repeated requests, aforesaid direction never came to be complied with, petitioner is compelled to approach this Court in the instant proceedings. 2 2. Mr. Rahul Thakur, Advocate appearing on behalf of the respondent, submits that though he has every reason to presume that by now, judgment alleged to have been violated must have been complied with in its totality, but if not, same would be positively complied with within a period of four weeks from today. 3. Consequently, in view of the fair stand adopted by the learned counsel for the respondent, this Court sees no reason to keep the present petition alive and accordingly, same is closed. However, respondent- contemnor is directed to do the needful in terms of judgment alleged to have been violated within a period of four weeks, failing which he would aggravate the contempt and petitioner would be at liberty to get the present petition revived so that appropriate action in accordance with law is taken against the erring officials.
