HIGH COURT OF ORISSA
K. S. JHAVERI, CJ, K.R.MOHAPATRA, J
STATE OF ORISSA – Appellant
Versus
AHOK KUMAR DUTTA – Respondent
WP(C)/4485/2018
02. 03.1.2019
Heard
learned
counsel
for
the
petitioners-
Department.
By way of this writ petition, the petitioners have
prayed for the following relief:
“xxx Hon’ble Court may hold that the contempt
proceeding being C.P.No.171(C) of 2017 filed by
the opp. Party/applicant which is subjudice
before the learned Tribunal is baseless and not
maintenable in the eye of law and accordingly
the same may be dropped in the interest of
justice. xxx .”
Considering the submissions made, we see no
reason to interfere with the order of the learned Tribunal as
maintainability of the contempt proceeding can be well
looked into by learned Tribunal itself before whom the
proceeding is pending.
However, it is open for the original applicant to
challenge the rejection of the representation before the
learned Tribunal by filing appropriate petition.
The writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
All
connected
Misc.Cases/I.As.,
if
any
are
accordingly disposed of.
