IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL. Contempt Application No. 168 of 2008 Raath Shiksha Vikas Samiti …Petitioner Versus Smt. Anjali Prasad …Respondent Sri U.K. Uniyal, Senior advocate assisted by Sri Sandeep Kothari, Advocate for petitioner Sri L.P. Naithani, learned Advocate General for respondent Dated: 01-04-2009 Hon’ble B.C. Kandpal, J. By way of this contempt petition under Section 12 of Contempt of Courts Act the petitioner has sought the relief for issuing notice to the respondent and punishing him to initiate the contempt proceedings for non-compliance of the order dated 23rd July, 2008 passed by this Court in writ petition no. 1133 (M/S) of 2008, Raath Shiksha Vikas Samiti vs. Uttarakhand State Universities Dehradun & others. The operative portion of the order dated 23rd July, 2008 passed by this Court, reads as follows: “The respondent-State is directed to conduct the counseling and send the students to the petitioner institution, if the students are available for the Session 2007-2008 for the additional seats, which was recommended by the NCTE and University.” Respondent-Smt. Anjali Prasad, Secretary, Higher Education, Govt. Of Uttarakhand, Dehradun, was directed to furnish the explanation to show cause as to why the order passed by this Court has not been complied with so far. Respondent-Smt. Anjali Prasad has filed explanation on 30th March, 2009 and in paragraph- 10 of the explanation it has been stated that “inspite of all this, if the Hon’ble Court directs, the University will admit those students, list of which the petitioner has furnished, which are above the cut-off marks, after verification and counseling, if necessary”. Although respondent has made the averment that in case, if the Hon’ble Court directs, the University will admit those students, list of which the petitioner has furnished, but still I am of the view that it needs no further direction to be issued by this Court in the contempt petition. However, respondent is directed to comply the order passed by this Court in the light of averments made by her in prargraph-10 of the explanation filed before this Court. In view for the averments made in paragraph- 10 of explanation filed by the respondent that the University will admit those students, list of which the petitioner has furnished, which are above the cut-off marks/qualifying marks after verification and counseling, I do not think it proper to continue the contempt proceedings furthermore against the respondent. Accordingly, contempt petition is dismissed. Notice issued against the respondent is hereby discharged. (B.C. Kandpal, J.) SP
