Heard learned counsel for the applicant. Vide order dated 11.09.2024 passed in Writ A No. 14163/2024 filed by the applicant, the writ Court directed as under: "In view of the above discussion, the petition stands disposed of with direction to the respondent No. 2 to look into and consider the representation of the petitioner dated 08.05.2024 and decide the same within two months from the date of production of certified copy of this order. Needless to add that the order to be passed by the respondent No. 2 must be reasoned and speaking one. " Learned counsel for the applicant submits that a certified copy of the aforesaid order was submitted for compliance before the opposite party on 19.09.2024, but the opposite party has wilfully not complied with the order and, thus, has committed civil contempt liable for punishment under Section 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. Prima facie, a case of contempt has been made out. However, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, one more opportunity is afforded to the opposite party to comply with the aforesaid order of the writ Court within two months from the date of production of a copy of this order. The applicant shall supply a duly stamped registered envelope addressed to the opposite party and another self-addressed stamped envelope to the office within one week from today. The office shall send a copy of this order along with the self-addressed envelope of the applicant with a copy of contempt application to the opposite party within one week thereafter and keep a record thereof. The opposite party shall comply with the directions of the writ Court and intimate him of the order through the self-addressed envelop within a week thereafter. With the aforesaid observations, this application is disposed of at this stage with liberty to the applicant to move a fresh application, if the order is not complied with by the opposite party within the stipulated time as aforementioned.
