THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI CONTEMPT CASE No. 1496 OF 2011 Dated: 09.11.2011 Between : Mirza Asad Ali Baig … Petitioner And Sri Srinivas Gotru, IFS … Respondent The Court made the following:- THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI CONTEMPT CASE No. 1496 OF 2011 ORDER: This Court disposed of Writ Petition No.19563 of 2011 with a direction to the Regional Passport Officer to receive the application of the writ petitioner and consider the same in terms of the Government of India’s Circular dated 29.10.2007 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of four (4) weeks. Accordingly, the Regional Passport Officer passed an order dated 09.08.2011 directing the petitioner to furnish a declaratory order from the Civil Court of First Class. According to the petitioner, the said order is not in conformity with the Government of India’s Circular dated 29.10.2007. Hence, this contempt case is filed to punish the respondents under the provisions of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. Since the respondent has already passed an order in compliance with the directions of this Court in Writ Petition No.19563 of 2011, a new cause of action has arisen and the correctness/validity of the said order cannot be gone into in the contempt proceedings. If aggrieved, it is for the petitioner to challenge the said order by working out the appropriate remedy as available under law. Hence, granting leave and liberty to the petitioner to avail the appropriate remedy as available under law to question the order dated 09.08.2011, the Contempt Case is closed. No costs. ___________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 09.11.2011 Ivd
