No.29615 of 2022 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of March, 2025 JUDGMENT The contempt case is filed complaining of non-compliance with the directions issued by this Court in WP(C) No.29615/2022. It is submitted that though this Court had directed to trace out the concerned files and if not possible to reconstruct the file and to issue duplicate pattas, the same have not been done so far. 2. Pending the contempt case, the petitioner has by abundant caution submitted application for issuance of a Nijasthithi Certificate, which can serve the same purpose as a duplicate patta, in case it is not possible to recreate the patta. It is submitted that he had preferred such an application as early as in 2023, but nothing has happened on that application. A fresh application has been filed on 26.03.2025, copy of which has been produced as Annexure VI. In the above circumstances, there will be a direction to the respondents to consider and pass orders on the application dated 2025:KER:26233 CON.CASE(C) NO. 434 OF 2025 4 26.03.2025, receipt of which has been acknowledged as per Annexure VII produced along with I.A.No.1/2025, after hearing the petitioner and issue a Nijasthithi Certificate at the earliest, at any rate within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The contempt case is closed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner regarding the claim for a duplicate patta, regarding which directions have already been issued by this Court in the judgment in WP(C) No.29615/2022.
