Heard learned counsel for the applicant.
By order dated 16.05.2019 passed in Writ- A No. 7586 of 2019 filed by the applicant, this Court directed as under:
"In the facts and circumstances, noticed above, this writ petition stands disposed of permitting the petitioner to approach respondent no.3, in respect of his grievance annexing all relevant materials in support of his claim, alongwith certified copy of this order, within three weeks from today. The claim of petitioner would be attended to, in accordance with law, by passing a reasoned order, within a further period of three months, thereafter. The amount, which is found due and payable towards reimbursement of medical bill, would be released within a further period of six weeks, thereafter. "
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that a certified copy of the aforesaid order was submitted for compliance before the opposite party but the opposite party has wilfully not complied with the order and, thus, has committed civil contempt liable for punishment under Section 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971.
Prima facie a case of contempt has been made out. However, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, one more opportunity is afforded to the opposite party to comply with the aforesaid order of the writ Court within three weeks from the date of production of a certified copy of this order.
The applicant shall supply a duly stamped registered envelope addressed to the opposite party and another self-addressed stamped envelope to the office within one week from today. The office shall send a copy of this order along with the self- addressed envelope of the applicant with a copy of contempt application to the opposite party within one week thereafter and keep a record thereof.
The opposite party shall comply with the directions of the writ court and intimate the order to the applicant through the self-
addressed envelope within a week thereafter.
With the aforesaid observations, this application is disposed of at this stage with liberty to the applicant to move a fresh application, if the order is not complied with by the opposite party within the stipulated time as aforementioned.
