Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant happens to be the complainant, however, he was not arrayed as a party in the said writ proceedings and despite communication of the order upon the opposite parties, the proceedings have not been given a final conclusion, particularly, when post service of the order, notices were issued and one Smt. Meera, who happens to be the Gram Pradhan, was found guilty but the proceedings have not been given a logical end. 4. In the opinion of the Court, once the applicant is not a party to the writ proceedings, then obviously he cannot file the present contempt application. 5. Accordingly, the contempt application is consigned to record, leaving it open to the applicant to take legal remedies which are permissible and advisable under law.
