District Court Amritsar had issued a Stay Order on 18-3-2009 which was not honoured by S.I. Randhir Singh (Duty Officer) of the concerned Police Station. A contempt case filled against S.I. Randhir Singh and 3 others on 23-3-2009 for not honouring the Stay order which was listed before the court on 27-3-2009 as case No.86/09.
Notices were issued to all 4 respondents in April-2009 and proceedings going on. Asking for latest updates for case through RTI Application dated 20-12-10, it was informed by PIO that contempt case was dismissed by default in Sep.10 and application for restoration filled which is pending for 29-1-11.
The question is : Contempt case be dismissed after proceedings of 18 months without any judgement on the matter ? or it may be dismissed on the ground for non appearence of appellant ?
Should I file another RTI Application to know the 1. the grounds on which Contempt petetion may be dismissed even after its acceptance and proceedings of around 18 months ? and 2. to supply certify copy of the dismissal order, so that grounds applied to dismiss the case may be look.
Need your help on the matter.
