Heard Shri B. Chetri, learned counsel for the petitioner, who by means of this petition has alleged wilful and deliberate disobedience of the order dated

28.02.2019 and 10.06.2019 passed in WP(C) No.2461/2016 and in I.A. (C) No. 1858/2019. Ex-facie, the application has been filed beyond the prescribed period of limitation as laid down in Section 20 of the Contempt of Court's Act, 1971. The said Act of 1971 is a self contained Code whereby limitation has been prescribed. Shri Chetri, the learned counsel has submitted that a writ appeal is pending so far as the orders in question are concerned. Pendency of the writ appeal shall not extend the period of limitation. It will be a different matter if such an application is filed after disposal of the writ appeal said to have been pending. In view of the above, petition is dismissed on the ground of limitation.
