Heard learned counsel for the applicant. Vide order dated 06.11.2024 passed in Special Appeal No.810 of 2024 filed by the applicant, the Court directed as under:
"In such view of the matter, we find that the impugned order is liable to be quashed. Accordingly the same is quashed and the respondent No. 2, the Director, Horticulture and Food Processing Department, U.P. Lucknow, is
directed to decide the claim of the petitioner in light of the communication already made by the respondent No. 4 preferably within a period of two months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order."
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that a certified copy of the aforesaid order was submitted for compliance before the opposite party on 23.11.2024, but the opposite party has willfully not complied with the order and, thus, has committed civil contempt liable for punishment under Section 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. Prima facie, a case of contempt has been made out. However, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, one more opportunity is afforded to the opposite party to comply with the aforesaid order of the writ Court within two months from the date of production of a copy of this order. The applicant shall supply a duly stamped registered envelope addressed to the opposite party and another self-addressed stamped envelope to the office within one week from today. The office shall send a copy of this order along with the self-addressed envelope of the applicant with a copy of contempt application to the opposite party within one week thereafter and keep a record thereof. The opposite party shall comply with the directions of the writ Court and intimate him of the order through the self-addressed
envelop within a week thereafter. With the aforesaid observations, this application is disposed of at this stage with liberty to the applicant to move a fresh application, if the order is not complied with by the opposite party within the stipulated time as aforementioned.
