IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Contempt Petition No. 256 of 2002 1. Rakesh Singh S/O Sri Heera Singh, resident of Village Sindi, P.O. Deilchauri, District Pauri Garhwal. 2. Lalit Prasad S/O Sri Devi Prasad, Resident of Village and P.O. Chopadron, District Pauri Garhwal. …… Petitioners. Versus R.C.Sayana, C.M.O. Pauri Garhwal, District Pauri Garhwal. … O.P.-Respondent. Sri A.D.Tripathi, learned counsel for the petitioners-applicants. Date April 30, 2008. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. Heard Sri A.D.Tripathi, learned counsel for the applicant-petitioners and perused the record. This contempt petition has been filed for non- compliance of the court’s Order dated 21-3-2002 passed in Writ Petition No. 120 (S/B) of 2002 Rakesh Singh and another Vs. State of Uttaranchal and another. On 21-3-2002, the Division Bench of this Court had passed the following order:- “Learned C.S.C., who has accepted notice on behalf of the respondents prays for and allowed four weeks time to file counter affidavit. The respondents are directed either to pay entire salary to the petitioner from June 2000 onwards during the aforesaid period or to show cause.” 2 It is not a disputed fact that by filing counter affidavit, cause has been shown by the respondent in that writ petition. The order was condition either to pay the entire salary to the petitioner or to show cause. In view of the fact that counter affidavit has already been file and since cause had been shown, in my view, the respondent did not flout the Court’s order. The contempt petition has no merits. The contempt petition is hereby dismissed. Notice issued to the respondent is discharged. ( B.S.Verma, J. ) RCP 3 4 5 6
