The Petition coming on for Admission this day, Vineet Saran J., made the following: ORDER This is a petition filed by the petitioners seeking review of the order dated 10.3.2015 passed in the writ petition whereby the petition has been dismissed with liberty that if any of the respondents, in violation of the court direction, has executed the sale deed, it is for the petitioners to avail other remedies open to them. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners seeking review of the said order is that the order which was dictated in the open court, this Court had granted liberty to petitioners to enable them to initiate contempt proceedings against the respondents who had deliberately and knowingly violated certain orders of the court passed in 5 some earlier writ petition, which was not there in the final order. It is also stated that the writ petition ought to have been actually disposed of and not dismissed by this Court by order dated 10.3.2015. Having heard Sri Bryen, learned counsel appearing for review petitioner and considering the facts and circumstances of this case, what we find is that the court has, in fact, given liberty to the petitioners to avail such remedy available to them in law, if there is violation of any court directions. The same would include filing of a contempt petition, if permissible in law. In fact, it is not for the Court to advise or grant permission to the petitioners for filing contempt petition. If any orders of this Court passed in some other writ petition have been violated by any person, it is always open to the petitioners to bring it to the notice of the court, whereafter the same shall be dealt with in accordance with law. This Court cannot and should not pass any directions or make any observations with regard to granting liberty to a party to file contempt proceedings against any other person or party. As far as the question of the writ petition having been dismissed by the said order dated 10.3.2015 is concerned, what we find is that since liberty has already been given by the order dated 10.3.2015 to the 6 petitioners to avail such other remedy available to them in law for proceeding against the persons who have committed any wrong or allegedly violated the orders or directions of this Court, in stead of the petition being dismissed, we provide that the said writ petition may be treated as ‘disposed of ’ in stead of ‘dismissed’ and the order dated 10.3.2015 shall stand modified accordingly. Review petition stands disposed of. Sd/- Judge Sd/- Judge An .
