ORDER
Date : 22.07.2026
Heard Mr. S.B. Laskar, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners. Mr. R. Sahiinii, the learned counsel appears on behalf of the sole respondent.
2. The present contempt application has been filed alleging willful and deliberate violation of the order dated 19.11.2025 passed in WP(C) No. 6361/2025.
3. Taking into account the above, this Court finds it relevant to note the directions issued by the learned Coordinate Bench of this Court in the order dated 19.11.2025 passed in WP(C) No. 6361/2025 and the relevant paragraphs being Paragraph Nos. 8 and 9 are reproduced hereinbelow: “8. Having regard to the limited nature of direction sought for in the afore- stated manner and as agreed to by the learned State Counsel, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent no. 2 to furnish a copy of the application which led to registration of Boundary Case no. 68, to a representative of those petitioners who are claiming to be in possession of parcels of lands of Village – Kendua within a period of 15 days from the date of submission of a certified copy of this order by the petitioners at his office.
9. After receipt of the application pertaining to Boundary Case no. 68, those petitioners can submit their objections/representations within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of the copy of the application before the respondent no. 2, who in turn, shall give consideration to such objections/representations. It is observed that in Boundary Case no. 68, the respondent no. 4 is to be given an opportunity of hearing during the demarcation proceedings and this order of furnishing a copy of the application is not going to cause any prejudice, this writ petition is disposed dispensing with the process of issuance of a notice to the respondent no. 4.”
4. From a perusal of the above-quoted paragraphs, it is apparent that a direction was issued to the District Commissioner, Kamrup (Rural), to furnish a copy of the application which led to the registration of Boundary Case No.
68. Upon receipt of the said copy, the petitioners were granted the opportunity to file their objection. It was further directed that, upon receipt of such objection, the District Commissioner, Kamrup (Rural), shall consider and decide the same after giving an opportunity of hearing to the respondent No. 4.
5. The present contempt application was filed at the time when the copy of the application which led to the registration of Boundary Case No. 68 was not furnished to the petitioners. It has, however, been brought to the notice of this Court that during the pendency of the present contempt proceedings, the said copy was furnished to the petitioners, pursuant to which the petitioners submitted their objection on 02.07.2026.
6. Considering that the copy of the application was furnished to the petitioners only during the pendency of the present contempt proceedings and that the petitioners were thereupon able to submit their objection on 02.07.2026, this Court is of the opinion that continuing the present contempt proceedings would not be in the interest of justice.
7. Accordingly, the present contempt application stands dropped.
8. Before parting with the record, this Court, observes that in the circumstance, the objection filed by the petitioners is not taken into consideration and disposed of within a reasonable period, the petitioners would be at liberty to approach this Court alleging willful and deliberate violation of the order dated 19.11.2025 passed in WP(C) No. 6361/2025.
