2023 (9) TMI 1404 - JAMMU AND KASHMIR AND LADAKH HIGH COURTInaction on the part of the Authority - order was passed by this Court on 14.08.2023 whereas warrant of arrest was issued by the Executive Magistrate on 19.08.2023 - HELD THAT:- Upon examination of the order passed by this Court, it appears that though the order was passed on 14.08.2023, it was placed before the Special Magistrate only on 22.08.2023, when the warrant of arrest had already been issued on 19.08.2023. Therefore, it is opined that the respondent cannot be prima facie found guilty of having acted in contempt of order dated 14.08.2023, as the warrant of arrest was issued even before the said order was placed before the Authority. However, learned counsel for the petitioner also submits that an application for recall of the NBW has been filed by the petitioner before the Authority on 24.08.2023. It is deemed appropriate to dispose of this contempt petition with a request to the learned Authority to pass an order on the application for recalling of warrant within a period of one week from the date on which the certified copy of this order is placed before the learned Authority. This contempt petition stands disposed of.
