Rajshekhar Suman v. Ms. v Rashmi Mahesh I.A.S
Case brief
What is this about?
Contempt petition — alleged non-compliance of learned single Judge's order in writ petitions; respondents/accused (including Accused No. 4) issued endorsement dated 11.04.2023 refusing to declare the petitioners' result, citing attendance of practice teaching and internship in the same medium of primary school as the college; affidavit of Principal, DIET Idar filed through Additional Government Advocate; HELD: correctness of the endorsement cannot be examined in a contempt petition, the Court being handicapped to set at naught the accused's endorsements; contempt petition dismissed; petitioners free to challenge the endorsements in the manner known to law. Keywords: contempt, non-compliance, endorsement, DIET Idar, medium of instruction, practice teaching, internship, result declaration.
What did the court decide?
The question whether the endorsement issued by the accused is right or not cannot be examined in a contempt petition, as this Court is handicapped to set at naught the endorsements issued by the accused rejecting the claim of the petitioners.
