Hon'ble Mahesh Chandra Tripathi,J.
By order dated 18.12.2018 passed in Writ C No. 42211 of 2018 filed by the applicant, this Court directed as under:
"Considering the case of the petitioner, the Respondent No.1 is directed to dispose of the appeal of the petitioner as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of six months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order.
Learned counsel for the petitioner undertakes that the petitioner will also produce the memo of appeal filed on 17.7.2017 along with the certified copy of this judgement before the Respondent No.1.
With the aforesaid observation, the writ petition is disposed of. "
It appears from the record 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 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 party and another self-addressed 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.
