The complainants have filed the present contempt

petition under the provisions of Sections 11 and 12 of the

Contempt of Courts Act to initiate contempt proceedings

against accused for having willfully disobeyed the order, dated

19.6.2020, passed in W.P.No. 22658-662/2015 and connected

Judge of this Court, directing the Revenue Authorities/Municipal

Authorities to consider making appropriate entries in the name

of the complainant upon representations being made in

accordance with law and as per the applicable procedure, in

light of the findings made in the order.

2. Since the said order passed by the learned Single

Judge has not been complied with and has attained finality, the

- 3 -

appeal filed by the State before the Hon'ble Supreme Court

came to be dismissed.

3. In response to the notice issued, the State

Government filed compliance affidavits on so many occasions

and as this Court was not satisfied with the way in which the

compliance affidavits are filed by State Government, ultimately

a compliance affidavit dated 17.1.2023 along with Annexures-

R1 to 8 is filed specifically stating at paragraphs 6 to 9 as

under:

"6. I state that in compliance of the Order

has dated 11.01.2023. Copy of the said Show-

Cause-Notice dated 11.01.2023 is herewith

produced and marked as Annexure-R8."

4. In turn, a rejoinder to the compliance affidavit has

been filed by the complainant contending that instead of

complying with the order, the accused have issued an

endorsement which is nothing but a contempt and thereby this

Court has to frame the charge against the accused.

5. We have heard Sri Jayakumar S. Patil, learned Senior

Counsel along with Sri S. Rajendra, learned Counsel for the

complainant and Sri Kiran Kumar, learned High Court

Government Pleader for the accused-State.
