CLCON No.95 of 2010 Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. Mrs. Vijay Laxmi, the learned counsel for the applicant. Mr. P. C. Bisht, the learned counsel for the opposite party. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. The opposite party Sri Sachin Kurbey is present in court today pursuant to the order of the court and has also filed an affidavit of compliance indicating therein that the grievance of the applicant has been settled by an order passed by the opposite party on 21.08.2010. In view of the aforesaid, the substantial compliance of the order of the writ court has now been made. Notices are discharged and the contempt application is dismissed. Before parting, this court is constrained to observe that the opposite party, who was posted as District Magistrate and Director, Rehabilitation, Tehri chose to lower the majesty of the court by not appearing inspite of the notices being served and inspite of seeking time from the court to comply with the order of the writ court. Such type of laxity at the behest of the opposite party cannot be tolerated by the court. The opposite party was required to appear yesterday, but, did not appear and a pretext has been given that since he has been transferred to Dehradun, he was not required to appear and that the new incumbent was required to appear before the court. The said submission is patently fallacious in as much as the opposite party may have been transferred as District Magistrate from Tehri, but, he continued to remain as the Director, Rehabilitation. The order of the court was required to be complied by the opposite party in his capacity as the Director, Rehabilitation. Even otherwise, the opposite party was in contempt proceedings and was required to be present as and when the court required him to be present and it was immaterial that the opposite party was transferred to another place. In view of the aforesaid, the court is constrained to observe that the opposite party has not observed the propriety which is demanded from an officer of his rank. Let a copy of this order be sent to the Chief Secretary of the State of Uttarakhand. (Tarun Agarwala, J.) Dated 31.08.2010 LSR
