JUDGMENT (Per N.J.Pandya,J.) (cid:9)The petitioners are respectively a private limited company and its Director. They have invoked the jurisdiction of this Court under the Contempt of Courts (cid:9) (cid:9) (cid:9) Act on the basis that the respondent-Gujarat Electricity Board (hereinafter referred to as "the Board") and its Officers are willfully and deliberately flouting the order of this Court given in Special Civil Application No.5261 of 1995.
2.(cid:9)The said Special Civil Application was filed against the Board and its Officers disputing the claim of the Board as to the dues of disconnected electricity connection which was given by the Board to Messrs Hazari Ispat Limited. It is an undisputed position that the said old connection was given in the very premises which is now occupied by petitioner no.1 Company. It came to occupy the same as a result of auction purchase knocked down in its favour as Messrs Hazari Ispat Limited, failed to pay its dues.
3.(cid:9)Our learned colleague S.M.Soni, by his order dated 11-5-1995, allowed the said Special Civil Application. For this purpose, the petitioner was relying on Messrs Isha Marbles vs. Bihar State Electricity Board and ots. reported in Judgment Today
