By way of present contempt petition, prayer has been made on
behalf of the petitioner for initiation of contempt proceedings against the
respondents for their having willfully and intentionally disobeyed the
directions contained in order/judgment dated 21.05.2024, rendered in
CWP No.4213 of 2024, whereby Coordinate Bench of this Court while
disposing of the bunch of petitions, directed respondents to consider the
respective cases of the petitioners in light of the various judgments, as
referred in the order and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law
within a period of three weeks. Since despite there being aforesaid
direction, no steps, whatsoever, came to be taken at the behest of the
respondents for doing the needful, petitioner has approached this Court in
the instant proceedings.

2. Mr. Dheeraj K. Vashisht, Advocate, while putting in
appearance on behalf of respondents, submits that though he has every
reason to presume that by now, judgment alleged to have been violated
must have been complied with in its totality, but if not, same would be
positively complied with within a period of two weeks from today.
3. Consequently, in view of the fair stand adopted by the learned
counsel representing the respondents, this Court sees no reason to keep
the present petition alive and accordingly, same is closed. However,
respondents-contemnors are directed to do the needful in terms of
judgment alleged to have been violated within a period of two weeks, failing
which they would aggravate the contempt and petitioner would be at liberty
to get the present petition revived, so that appropriate action in accordance
with law is taken against the erring officials.
