The applicant is before this Court for a direction to initiate contempt proceeding against the opposite parties for wilful disobedience of the order dated 28.02.2019 passed in Writ-C No.6933 of 2019 (Ranveer Singh & Ors. v. State of U.P. & Ors.), which for ready reference is quoted as under:-
"The sole prayer of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the Case No. Nil of 2018 (Ranveer Singh and others vs. Harveer Singh Pahalwan and others), be expeditiously decided within a stipulated period of time.
It is, therefore, directed that the Case No. Nil of 2018 (Ranveer Singh and others vs. Harveer Singh Pahalwan and others) be decided within a period of three months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order, if there is no other legal impediment after giving a regular number to the case.
The writ petition is disposed of."
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that a certified copy of the aforesaid order was submitted for compliance before the opposite parties but the opposite parties have wilfully not complied with the order and, thus, have 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 parties to comply with the aforesaid order of the Court within three months 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 parties 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 stamped envelope of the applicant with a copy of contempt application to the opposite parties within one week, thereafter and keep a record thereof. The opposite party shall comply with the directions of the writ Court and intimate the applicant of the order through the self-addressed envelop 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 parties within the stipulated time as aforementioned.
