IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Contempt Appeal No.2 of 2008 WITH Interim Relief Application No.3332 of 2008 Vinod S/o Prakash … Applicant/Appellant Versus Rampal S/o Simru & five others … Respondents Dated: June 11, 2008 Coram Hon’ble Prafulla C.Pant, J. Hon’ble Dharam Veer, J. Heard Sri Siddhartha Sah, learned counsel for the appellant. This appeal is directed against the order dated 9.5.2008 passed by learned Single Judge of this Court in Contempt Petition No. 70 of 2008, dismissing the same. In view of the law laid down in “Pratap Singh Vs. J.C.Gupta & others” reported in 1985 AWC Page 432, since the learned Single Judge has not exercised the jurisdiction to punish the contemnor and dismissed the petition, the appeal u/s 19 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, is not maintainable. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed in-limine. (Interim relief application No.3332/2008 also stands rejected) (Dharam Veer, J.) (Prafulla C.Pant, J.) Rajeev Dang
