In a contempt matter concerning encroachment of land, the Jodhpur bench of the Rajasthan High Court directed the petitioner to implead the then concerned Collector, Sub-divisional Officer and Tehsildar to seek their stand, warning them of punishment including "jail sentence" if they don't pay heed to court orders. The division bench of Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice Munnuri Laxman was hearing a contempt petition filed by the petitioner alleging wilful disobedience of the order passed by the Court on February 7, 2022 by the District Collector, Jodhpur who also happened to be the Chairman of Public Land Protection Cell, Jodhpur constituted by the Court in its order dated January 30, 2019. "It appears that after the order of the High Court was passed, nobody looked into the matter to examine whether the action was required to be taken by the Public Land Protection Cell, Jodhpur or by the local body," the bench said. "The petitioner is directed to implead the concerned Collector, Sub-Divisional Officer and Tehsildar, who were in the office on the date when the order was passed, so that notices can be issued to them and if it is found that they did not pay heed to the order of this Court, appropriate punishment order could be passed including jail sentence," it underscored.
