Issues:
1. Dismissal of review petition by High Court of Rajasthan. 2. Encroachment dispute over land earmarked for a park. 3. Contempt petition filed against the Municipal Corporation. 4. Review petition filed by Municipal Corporation challenging the contempt proceedings. Issue 1: Dismissal of Review Petition: The Supreme Court heard an appeal against the dismissal of a review petition by the High Court of Rajasthan. The review petition was filed by the Municipal Corporation, challenging an order passed in a contempt petition. The High Court held that since the contempt proceedings were against individuals and not the Municipal Corporation, the review petition by the Corporation was not maintainable and thus dismissed it. Issue 2: Encroachment Dispute: The case involved a dispute regarding encroachment on public land where a temple was constructed without prior approval. The High Court directed the Municipal Corporation to decide within six months whether encroachment existed and to take action accordingly. The Commissioner reported encroachment by Sindhi Panchayat, but a Committee later found no encroachment, stating that a garden was developed in front of the temple. The writ petitioner filed a contempt petition, which was later withdrawn, leaving the decision to the Corporation. Issue 3: Contempt Petition: The writ petitioner filed a contempt petition against the Municipal Corporation, seeking compliance with the High Court's order. The High Court observed that satisfaction of the Commissioner on encroachment was final, but allowed time for compliance. The petition was later withdrawn by the petitioner with liberty to file a fresh one if needed, leading to its dismissal. Issue 4: Review Petition by Municipal Corporation: Subsequently, the Municipal Corporation filed a review petition challenging the order passed in the contempt proceedings. The review petition was filed after the contempt petition was withdrawn, leading to questions on the necessity and maintainability of the review petition. The Supreme Court clarified that once the contempt petition was withdrawn, there was no basis for the review of the earlier order. In conclusion, the Supreme Court disposed of the appeal, emphasizing that the review petition by the Municipal Corporation was unnecessary as the contempt petition had already been withdrawn. The case highlighted the importance of compliance with court orders, the finality of contempt proceedings, and the need for clarity in legal actions to avoid unnecessary reviews.
