Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? **** Present: Mr. KS Goraya, Advocate for the petitioners ***** SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) (1). This contempt petition has been filed, inter alia, alleging that the respondent-Sarpanch is making effort to dispossess the petitioners notwithstanding the interim order dated 16th July, 2010 passed by this Court. (2). “Attempt to dispossess” is a vague and evasive allegation and the petition appears to have been filed merely on apprehension. Suffice it to observe that so long as there is an interim protection granted by this Court, the Sarpanch or for that matter any other Authority is/are obligated to implement and honour the same. (3). The contempt petition, at this stage, is dismissed as premature, however, with liberty to the petitioners to initiate fresh proceedings, if so required. (4).
