1. Leave granted.
2 In the nature of the order we propose to pass, it
is not necessary to issue notice to the other
respondents, since in our view, no injustice is caused to them. JUDGMENT 3 The appellant is aggrieved since his application
initiating contempt proceedings against the respondents
has been dismissed mainly on the ground that the
appellant was not present and there was no representation
on behalf of the appellant. The High Court on perusal of
the records held that the appellant was not entitled to
get any financial benefit. According to the appellant,
had he been given an opportunity before the High Court,
he could have convinced the High Court that he is
entitled to get financial benefits.
4 Be that as it may, having regard to the advanced
age of the appellant and having regard to the submission
made before this Court regarding his absence before the
High Court on the date the case was decided, we are of
the view that the interest of justice would be served, if
one more opportunity is granted to the appellant to make
his submission on merits before the High court so that
the High court can decide the matter on merits having
regard to the submissions made by the appellant.
5 In that view, we set aside the order dated
19.01.2015 passed by the High Court and remit the matter
to the High Court.
6 The appellant shall appear before the High court on
8th November, 2016 and make his submissions in the matter
on merits. The appellant shall supply a copy of this
judgment to the respondents. JUDGMENT
7 The appeal is disposed of with no costs.
