IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Contempt Petition No. 157 of 2008 Anoop Singh ….Petitioner Versus Anjani Kumar Tripathi ….Respondent Mr. Sharad Sharma, Advocate for petitioner. Mr. N.P. Sah, Standing Counsel for respondent. Dated: 25-03-2009 Hon’ble B.C. Kandpal, J. By way of this petition under Section 12/14 of Contempt of Courts Act the petitoner has sought the relief for summoning the respondent in person and punishing him for deliberate flouting of the judgment and order dated 26.3.2008 passed by this Court in Writ Petition No. 1907/2001 “Anoop Singh vs. Prabhgiyan Van Adhikari”. The relevant portion of the order dated 26.3.2008 reads as follows: “On perusal of the inquiry report as well as the order of punishment shows that though the liability has been fixed up but on what principal the loss has been calculated which said to have been occurred to the Government has not been explained. Therefore, in my opinion, ends of justice will be met if recovery of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) is to be made from the petitioner, which he has already been deposited. No further recovery is to be made from him.” Counter affidavit has been filed by the respondent and it appears that respondent had, in the beginning, some confusion in the mind as Writ Petition No. 20952/1999 was dismissed being infructuous and Writ Petition No. 27510/1999 was disposed of in terms of interim order, but I think that mistake was immediately cured by the respondent which is evidence from perusal of Annexure-CA-4 annexed with the counter affidavit. Annexure-CA-4 is the letter dated 6th September, 2008, which indicates that no amount now is being recovered from the petitioner – Anoop Singh. In view of letter dated 6th September, 2008 issued by Prabhagiya Van Adhikari, Van Prabhag, Pithoragarh, I am of the view that there is no justification to continue the contempt proceedings against the Respondent furthermore. Accordingly, contempt petition is dismissed. Notice issued against the respondent is hereby discharged. (B.C. Kandpal, J.) SP
