The present contempt application has been filed for initiation of contempt proceeding as against the Opposite Party No.3 alleging wilful violation of the order dated 3rd August, 2023 passed by this Court in W.P.(S) No.6153 of 2022. 2. Mr. Sudhir Kumar Roy, Advocate submits that though he has filed Vakalatnama on behalf of the petitioner, yet subsequently the petitioner has taken ‘No Objection’ from him. Hence, he is not in a position to appear on behalf of the petitioner. 3. Mr. Amrit Raj Kisku, learned A.C. to G.A.-V appearing on behalf of the Opposite Parties refers to the reasoned order dated 31st January, 2026 passed by the Opposite Party No.3 (Annexure- A to the supplementary show-cause affidavit dated 4th February, 2026) and submits that despite order dated 16th January, 2026 passed in the present contempt case, the petitioner did not choose to appear before the said opposite party, as a result of which his claim could not be considered. It is, thus, submitted that the contempt proceeding as against 2026:JHHC:10331 2 the Opposite Parties including the Opposite Party No.3 may be dropped. 4. Having heard the learned counsel for the Opposite Parties and on perusal of the reasoned orders dated 11th September, 2025 as well as 31st January, 2026 passed by the Opposite Party No.3, this Court is of the view that no case of contempt is made out against the Opposite Parties. The contempt proceeding as against them 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 reasoned orders dated 11th September, 2025 and 31st January, 2026 passed by the Opposite Party No.3.
