The present contempt case has been filed for initiating contempt proceeding against the opposite party no.2 for his wilful and deliberate violation of the order dated 8th April, 2025 passed in W.P.(C) No.722 of 2025. 2. Mr. Shubham Gautam, learned AC to Sr. AAG refers to paragraph no.9 of the show cause affidavit dated 7th July, 2026 filed on behalf of the opposite party no.2 (wrongly mentioned as opposite party nos.2 to 4), which reads as under:- “9. That with regard to the statement made by the petitioners in paragraph 5 of the contempt application under reply, it is humbly stated and submitted that on 23.05.2025 the petitioners had communicated to the answering Opposite Party No. 4. about the order dated 08.04.2025 passed in W.P.(C) No. 722 of 2025 by way of representation. On receipt of the representation the answering Opposite Party No. 4 called for a report with respect to the said land from the Revenue Sub Inspector and Circle Inspector, Jamshedpur. On 10.11.2025 the Revenue Sub Inspector and Circle Inspector, submitted their report wherein it was stated that on investigation, it was found that land measuring 0.04 acres in Plot No. 2026:JHHC:21026 2 1333 under Khata No. 401 in Mouza Jugsalai was transferred in the name of Smt. Shobha Agarwal wife of Sri. Moolchand Agarwal and Smt. Sarita Agarwal, wife of Sri. Satyanarayan Agarwal vide order dated 07.12.1999 passed in Mutation Case No. 403/1999-2000 and is recorded in page No. 263 of offline Register II. Therefore, in the light of the above, online Jamabandi can be done. The online Jamabandi of the said land was rectified and rent receipt No. 0572673663, dated 13.11.2025 was issued.” 3. It is, thus, submitted that the aforesaid order of this Court has now been complied. 4. As against this, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the opposite party no.2 has arbitrarily issued rent receipts to the petitioners mentioning the old numbers of the plot and Khata, though they had made a request for issuance of rent receipts mentioning the corresponding new plot and Khata numbers of the land in question. 5. Be that as it may. 6. This Court is of the view that since the order dated 8th April, 2025 passed in the aforesaid writ petition has already been complied by the opposite party no.2, there is no need to further proceed in the matter. The contempt proceeding as against the said opposite party is hereby dropped. 7. The present contempt case is disposed of. 8. The petitioners are, however, at liberty to approach the opposite party no.2 seeking rectification in the rent receipts by mentioning the corresponding new plot and Khata numbers of the land in question.
