02.07.2026 In The High Court at Calcutta Ct. No. 38 Special Civil Jurisdiction Sl. No. 10 Appellate Side Contempt Moumita CPAN 1453 of 2025 in WPA 4056 of 2025 Arun Chandra Das and Ors. -Vs.- Mr. Prabhat Kumar Mishra The Principle Secretary, Department of Finance ‘Nabanna’ Mr. Susanta Pal, Adv. Ms. Humera Khurshid, Adv. …For the petitioners This is an application for contempt arising from an order dated April 2, 2025. Mr. Susanta Pal, learned Advocate with Ms. Humera Khurshid, learned Advocate appears for the petitioners. None appears for the alleged contemnor, though the contemnor was represented previously. The last order dated April 16, 2026 shows that the reasoned order passed pursuant to the direction of this Court has already been served upon the petitioner and also submitted before this Court which is on record. On perusal of the reasoned order, this Court finds that, the alleged contemnor has complied with the direction of this Court by passing the reasoned order. 2 Mr. Susanta Pal, learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that, the reasoned order is not in accordance with law. Such plea of the petitioner cannot be gone into under the contempt jurisdiction of this Court, as this Court while adjudicating a contempt proceeding will only see whether there has been any deliberate and willful violation of the direction of this Court and not the worth or merit of the reasoned order. Since, the reasoned order has been passed in terms of the direction made by this Court, sufficient compliance has been there, even though the reasoned order was passed belatedly. In view of the above, there is no contempt. Accordingly, this contempt CPAN 1453 of 2025 stands dropped and closed. The application CPAN 1453 of 2025 stands accordingly disposed of. However, the petitioner if feels aggrieved with the reasoned order, it may take recourse to law if, so advised. (Aniruddha Roy, J.)
