No.2 : Mrs. Niharika Mazumdar, A.C. to A.G. ----- Order No.04 Date: 03.07.2026 1. The present contempt application has been filed for initiation of contempt proceeding as against the Opposite Party No.2 alleging wilful violation of the order dated 14th October, 2024 passed by this Court in W.P.(C) No.4203 of 2023. 2. Mrs. Niharika Mazumdar, learned A.C. to A.G. refers to the copy of the order dated 16th January, 2026 passed by the O.P. No.2 (Annexure-C to the show-cause affidavit dated 17th June, 2026 filed on behalf of the said opposite party) and submits that vide said order the petitioner’s claim for uploading the details of the land in question in the on-line Register-II has been considered and rejected. It is, thus, submitted that the aforesaid order of this Court has been complied. 3. As against this, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that order dated 16th January, 2026 is completely illegal, as the O.P. No.2 has mentioned inter alia that one Harihar Singh is in possession of the land in question. In fact, the said Harihar Singh has already sold the land to the petitioner, pursuant to 2026:JHHC:19424 2 which mutation has also been done in favour of the petitioner, coupled with issuance of rent receipts. 4. Be that as it may. Since in pursuance of the order dated 14th October, 2024 passed by this Court in W.P.(C) No.4203 of 2023 the O.P. No.2 has passed a reasoned order, no case of contempt is made out against him. The contempt proceeding as against the O.P. No.2 is, hereby, dropped. 5. The contempt application is, accordingly, disposed of. 6. The petitioner is, however, at liberty to take appropriate recourse as permissible under law against the order dated 16th January, 2026 passed by the O.P. No.2.
