COCP No. 1600 of 2008 1 In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh … COCP No. 1600 of 2008 Date of decision: August 6, 2009 Gulzar Singh and others ..Petitioners. Versus Inder Yash Bhatti and others ..Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rakesh Kumar Garg Present: Mr. Bikramjit Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.S.Ahluwalia, Advocate for respondent No.1 Mr. K.S.Dhaliwal, Advocate for respondent Nos.2 and 3 Mr. M.C.Berry, Addl.A.G.Punjab for respondent No.4 ,,, Rakesh Kumar Garg,J(Oral) As per the averments made in this contempt petition, CWP No. 8793 of 2008 filed by the petitioner was disposed of vide order dated 22.5.2008, whereby petitioner was relegated to challenge the election of Gram Panchayat on the ground of wrong rejection of nomination papers or non-acceptance of nomination papers. Alternatively, the petitioner was also given opportunity to file representation under Section 210 of 1994 Act, before the State Election Commission and, in case, such a representation was filed, the State Election Commission was directed to consider the aforesaid representation expeditiously and decide the same before 24.5.2008. The contention of the counsel for the petitioner is that in spite of the fact that he had submitted his representation to the State Election Commission, the State Election Commission failed to pass orders up to 24.5.2008 as is clear from the order dated 4.6.2008 (Annexure P-6) and thus the respondents have COCP No. 1600 of 2008 2 committed the contempt of this court. Admittedly, the petitioner had challenged the order dated 4.6.2008 which was passed on his representation, vide CWP No.10640 of 2008 which was filed on 7.6.2008 on the ground that the representation of the petitioner was rejected wrongly. The aforesaid writ petition was dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to the petitioner to file Election Petition within three weeks from the date of the order vide order dated 29.9.2008. In view of the aforesaid fact that the petitioner has already raised the issue of wrongful rejection of his representation in CWP No. 10640 of 2008 and that writ petition was not pressed, I am not inclined to proceed further in this case. Rule discharged. Dismissed. August 6, 2009 (RAKESH KUMAR GARG) nk JUDGE
