JUSTICE ROHIT KAPOOR Present Mr. Rahul Rampal, Advocate, for the appellant. **** ASHWANI KUMAR MISHRA, J. (Oral) 1. Learned Contempt Court has dismissed the Contempt Petition after noticing that the alleged contemner was not a party in the Writ Petition. The Contempt Petition otherwise, arose out of an order passed by the learned Single Bench on 05.02.2025 in CWP-3241-2025, wherein the only direction issued was for consideration of the appellant’s claim for appointment by passing a reasoned order. 2. Mr. Indresh Goel, Senior Panel Counsel, UOI, appears on behalf of the respondent and informs the Court that a reasoned order has otherwise been passed, rejecting the claim of the appellant on 10.03.2025. The order dated 10.03.2025 is taken on record. 3. That being the case and even otherwise, in view of Section 19 of the Contempt Courts Act, 1971, which provides for filing of the Contempt Appeal only against an order of punishment, we hold that this Contempt Appeal not to be maintainable and is dismissed accordingly.
