Petitloner Ramesh Kumar Thawait, has filed this petition for Initiation of the proceedings of contempt against the respondent, who is working as Chief Executive Officer, Zlla Panchayat, Raigarh, District Raigarh (C.G.). According to the petitioner, the respondent has committed contempt, as he has not compiied with the order dated 15.07.2009 passed by this Court in W.P.(S) No.341 9/2009. A perusaj of the order dated 15.07.2009 would shovv that the petitioner, who is working on the post of Assistant Grade-iil, Janpad Panchayat, Pusour has been transferred to Ziia Panchayat, Raigarh by order dated 30.06.2009 (Annexure P/1 in the writ petition). The petitioner chailenged the said order of transfer in W.P.(S) No.3419/2009. When the said matter came up for hearing ^?L Contempt Case (0 No.296/2009 before the iearned Single Judge on 15.07.2009, learned counsel for the petitioner prayed for withdrawal of the writ petition wlth a liberty to fiie a representation before the Chief Executive Officer, Zila Panchayat, Raigarh, District Raigarh {C.G.} (respondent No.3 in the writ petition). AccordingEy, the writ petition was dismissed, as withdrawn with the aforesaid iiberty. It was also directed that in the eventuality of the petitioner's making such representatlon within a period of 1O days from the date of receipt of the copy of the order dated 15.07.2009, the same wouid be decided by the authorities within a further period of 3 weeks from the date of its receipt. Learned counse! for the petitioner submits that thereafter, the petitioner filed an application before the concerned authorities on 25.07.2009 and thereafter, another apptication was filed on 06.08.2009, but no action was taken by the respondent authorities. The copies of these applications have been filed as Annexures C-2 and C-3. A perusal of both these appiications would show that the petitioner had never made a representation before theconcerned authorities, but on both the occasions, he only submitted the copy of the order dated 15.07.2009 passed by the writ Court. Therefore, when no representation was filed by the petitioner, as per order dated 15.07.2009, then, a contempt proceeding, for not complying with the said order by not deciding the representation, cannot be initiated against the respondent. !n absence of filing of any representation in pursuance of the order dated 15.07.2009, J do not find any reason to initiate the proceedings of contempt against the respondent. The petition has no merit. The same is iiabie to be dismissed and is hereby dismissed at the motion stage itself. shyna Sd/- SunilKumar Sinha Judge
