Bhopal/Jabalpur : The MP high court imposed a cost of Rs 50,000 on a naib tehsildar for the wrong interpretation of a high court order and passing an illegal order giving possession of a shop to two person, citing the court order. The court further asked to initiate contempt proceedings against the naib tehsildar for the lapse.
A Jabalpur resident, Praveen Gupta, in his petition, said that he and his sisters had left a portion of the shop for their mother, Shakuntala. His mother later sold the shop under her possession to respondents Manoj Kumar and Mukesh Tarpade. They had sought police protection to take posses- sion of the shop. When police force was not provided to them, they moved the High Court with the prayer to provide them police protection, but the court rejected the petition. They later filed a review petition in the court. Hearing the review petition, the court asked SP, Jabalpur, to decide on their application for police protection.
However, the naib tehsildar in charge of the area passed an order giving possession of the shop to the two respondents, citing the court order. The petitioner said that the naib tehsildar wrongly interpreted the court order because the court had not given an order to give the respondents possession of the shop. During the hearing of the petition, the bench of Justice S. G. Ahluwalia found that the naib tehsildar had wrongly interpreted the court order and passed the order to give possession of the shop to the two respondents. There was no order to this effect in the review petition by the High Court. Taking serious note of the lapse by the naib tehsildar, the court imposed a cost of Rs 50,000 on him and also ordered that contempt proceedings be initiated against him in the case.
