IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. O.C.P. No. 22 of 1994 DATE OF DECISION : 07.07.2011 Court on its own motion .... PETITIONER Versus Shamsher Singh ..... RESPONDENT CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL By Order * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. These contempt proceedings were initiated against the respondent on September 20, 1994, on certain averments made in the letter written by him to the Hon'ble Judge of this Court, who had admitted Regular Second Appeal No. 23 of 1994, in which he was the respondent. In the letter, it was alleged that the Hon'ble Judge had admitted the Regular Second Appeal without there being any legal issue involved therein, which has resulted in a great loss to him, due to which he will not be able to get possession of the land of his share for another 15 years. The respondent was never served in this petition. As per the office report, notices were issued to the respondent several times, but did not receive back served or otherwise. Now, the matter has been listed for final disposal. The file of Regular Second Appeal No. 23 of 1994, which was admitted on September 2, 1994, has been called for. A perusal of the file Crl. O.C.P. No. 22 of 1994 -2- shows that on 19.8.2002, the said appeal was disposed of in terms of a compromise between the parties. Keeping in view the aforesaid fact, we are of the opinion that it will be in the interest of justice, if the contempt proceedings initiated against the respondent are now dropped. Ordered accordingly. The petition stands disposed of. ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) JUDGE July 07, 2011 ( A.N. JINDAL ) ndj JUDGE
