The petitioner has come forward with this Contempt Petition to punish the respondent for the willful disobedience of the orders of this Court in Crl.O.P.No.5303 of 2016 dated 04.04.2016.
2.Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner has lodged a complaint before the respondent police on 18.02.2016 and on receipt of the complaint, a case has been registered in Crime No.27 of 2016 for the offence under
Sections 354(A) of IPC and Section 4 of Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Women Harassment Act.
3.Learned Public Prosecutor would submit that on the basis of the complaint lodged by the petitioner, only C.S.R.No.49 of 2016 is pending and the same is now enquired and closed. A copy of the closure report has also been forwarded to the petitioner and that has been evidenced by the postal receipt. Hence, there is no disobedience that too wilful disobedience of the order passed by this Court.
4.Heard both sides.
5.On perusal of para-5 of the order dated 04.04.2016 made in Crl.O.P.No.5303 of 2016, the Superintendent of Police (Rural), Coimbatore District, was directed to take action against a person, who registered a case in Crime No.27 of 2016. It is seen from the F.I.R. that the case has been registered against one Syed Ibrahaim on the basis of the complaint given by one Rajendraprasad under
Section 41(ii) Cr.P.C. But it is not necessary to take action against the said Rajendraprasad, merely because he has obtained a report from the Right to Information Act. Since no action is taken, the petitioner has filed the present contempt petition. As the said Rajendraprasad did not commit any mistake and the superior has looked into the matter, there is no disobedience that too wilful disobedience by the respondent. Therefore, the Contempt Petition is dismissed.
