IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.O.C.P. No. 782 of 2010 Date of Decision: 24.09.2010 Ranjeet Singh .... Petitioner Versus Dr. Jaswant Singh, Additional Deputy Commissioner (Development) Patiala ... Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH Present : Mr. Lakhwinder Singh Mann, Advocate for the petitioner ALOK SINGH, J. (ORAL) Present contempt petition has been filed with the allegation that this Court vide order dated 23.2.2009 has stayed the operation of the impugned orders Annexure P-7 and Annexure P-8 in the Civil Writ Petition No. 3230 of 2010, hence, OPs were not having any jurisdiction to proceed with the enquiry. It is further contended by the applicant that while passing the final order on the enquiry OPs have violated order of this Court dated 23.2.2009. I have carefully perused Annexure P-7 and Annexure P-8 of the Writ Petition No. 3230 of 2010. Infact by the impugned order Annexure P-7 dated 21.12.2009 only suspension order was passed. Order dated 21.12.2009 does not contain any direction for holding the enquiry. However, in the order in appeal Annexure P-8 observation was made by the learned Financial Commissioner and Secretary, Punjab and direction was given to enquiry officer to submit his enquiry report within three months. From the perusal of record, it reveals that no relief was sought against the enquiry which was C.O.C.P. No. 782 of 2010 2 pending against the petitioner. Hence, there was no question of any stay against enquiry. Stay was confined to suspension order. In my view there is no violation of the order dated 23.2.2009. Contempt petition is dismissed.
