Case :- CONTEMPT APPLICATION (CIVIL) No. - 5111 of 2018 Applicant :- Rajesh Kumar Patel Opposite Party :- Harendra Singh C.E.O. Counsel for Applicant :- Devendra Kumar
Hon'ble Manoj Kumar Gupta,J.
Under order dated 17.8.2015 in Writ-A No.45950 of 2015, the Chief Executive Officer, Cantonment Board, Kanpur was required to decide the claim of the applicant for compassionate appointment within three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order.
Counsel for the applicant submitted that a certified copy of order of the Writ-Court was submitted in the office of Chief Executive Officer on 26.8.2016 followed by several reminders, but no decision has been taken in the matter so far.
This Court is of the opinion that before inaction on part of the opposite party in considering the claim of the applicant is treated as wilful disobedience of the order of the Writ Court, one more opportunity be granted to ensure compliance of the said order.
Accordingly, the instant contempt application is disposed of with liberty to the applicant to file a certified copy of this order alongwith fresh representation before the opposite party and in which event, the opposite party shall ensure that decision in due compliance of the direction issued by the Writ-Court is taken within next eight weeks. In case the decision is yet not taken, as directed herein, it shall be open to the applicant to initiate fresh contempt proceedings.
