Smt. Sharmistha Dutta & Anr.
arising out of WPA No.8223 of 1999
None …for the petitioner
None represents the applicant to press the contempt application on call.
By way of this contempt application filed on March 2, 2000 under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 read with Article 215 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner has sought for punishment of the contemners/respondents concerned in the writ petition for non-compliance of an order dated September 27, 1999 passed in WP No.8223(W) of 1999.
Since filing of the contempt application, none moved to press it.
I feel that the petitioner is no longer interested to proceed with the application on hand.
Accordingly, the contempt application stands dismissed for non-appearance of the petitioner.
