ORDER
Date : 30.09.2026
Heard Mr. J. Abedin, learned counsel for the applicant.
This is an application praying for impleadment of In-Charge Director of Health Services, Government of Assam, as alleged contemnor No. 4 in Cont. Cas(C) No. 395/2026.
The applicant has filed the contempt petition alleging violation of order of this Court dated 25.11.2025, passed in WP(C) No. 6382/2023, by the then incumbent Director of Health Services, Government of Assam, who has been arrayed as the alleged contemnor in the said contempt petition.
It is submitted that the said incumbent Director of Health Services has retired from service in the meantime. Therefore, the learned counsel for the applicant seeks impleadment of the present incumbent, who is acting as In- Charge Director of Health Services, Government of Assam.
Having considered that the incumbent Director of Health Services, who alleged to have violated the order of this Court, having been retired from service and a new incumbent has been appointed as In-Charge Director of Health Services, Government of Assam, I deem it appropriate to allow this interlocutory application.
Accordingly, Shri Pradip Kumar Das, In-Charge Director of Health Services, Assam, is allowed to be impleaded as alleged contemnor No. 4 in Cont. Cas(C) No. 395/2026. Interlocutory application stands allowed and disposed of.
