Court No. - 10
Case :- CONTEMPT APPLICATION (CIVIL) No. - 5544 of 2019 Applicant :- Shiv Shankar Shahi Opposite Party :- K. Vijendra Pandiyan, D.M.
Counsel for Applicant :- Rajeev Kumar Singh Hon'ble Mahesh Chandra Tripathi,J.
By order dated 25.4.2019 passed in Writ C No. 14387 of 2019 filed by the applicant, this Court directed as under:
"The application of the petitioner for grant of arms license is allowed. The District Magistrate, Gorakhpur, respondent No.2, is directed to issue arms license to the petitioner as per his application, within two months from today.
The learned Standing Counsel is directed to communicate this order to the Licensing Authority/District Magistrate, Gorakhpur forthwith for compliance. "
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 two 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.
