ORDER
Date : 09-10-2026 Heard Mr. M. Dutta, learned Senior Counsel for the applicants. By filing this application, the applicants have prayed for impleadment of (i) Mr. Kailash Chand Samaria, Commissioner & Secretary, Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department, Government of Assam, & (ii) Dr. Tanuj Hazarika, Joint Director, Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department, Government of Assam, as respondent Nos. 5 & 6 in the connected contempt petition, being Cont. Cas(C) No. 55/2026. The applicants have filed the aforesaid contempt petition alleging violation of the order dated 10.12.2025, passed by this Court in WP(C) No. 4530/2025.
It is submitted that during the pendency of the contempt petition, the earlier incumbents have been transferred and retired and in their places, the opposite parties sought to be impleaded have been posted as Commissioner & Secretary and Joint Director to the Government of Assam, Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department, respectively. Having considered that the opposite parties sought to be impleaded are presently holding the posts of Commissioner & Secretary and Joint Director to the Government of Assam, Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department, I deem it appropriate to allow the present interlocutory application as the parties sought to be impleaded appears to be the necessary parties in the connected contempt petition. Accordingly, (i) Mr. Kailash Chand Samaria, Commissioner & Secretary, Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department, Government of Assam, & (ii) Dr. Tanuj Hazarika, Joint Director, Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department, Government of Assam, are allowed to be impleaded as respondent Nos. 5 & 6, respectively, in the connected contempt petition, being Cont. Cas(C) No. 55/2026. The interlocutory application stands allowed and disposed of.
