The petitioner gave notice on 23.9.2009 for such payments and the said notice was directed to be decided by this Court on 21.12.2009 within a period of six weeks. Learned counsel for the petitioner has pointed out that vide Annexure P-2 dated 1.4.2010, the Chief Executive Officer, Zila Parishad, Karnal has communicated to Director Panchayats, Haryana, Chandigarh that the petitioner has not submitted the log book as claimed by him and it is also pointed out that as and when the photocopies of the log books are supplied, the claim of the petitioner shall be considered. Learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon (Annexure P- 3), photocopy of the log book bearing page No. 1 to 32. Such communication is by an advocate addressed to the Competent Authority. An advocate can send a communication to claim the legal right but communication of a fact in respect of the log book to claim petrol expenses has to be by the petitioner alone. COCP No. 2190 of 2010 -2- In view of the said fact, I do not find any ground for initiation of the contempt proceedings. However, it shall be open to the petitioner to comply with the communication (Annexure P-2) in accordance with law. Petition stands dismissed. (HEMANT GUPTA) JUDGE 29.11.2010 preeti
