She is said to have joined only in the year 2024, and after she assumed the charges, she came to know about the direction of the Court and that she had taken steps to file the charge sheet and complied with the order. Even though this contemnor has also caused a considerable delay, it is not as longer as that of her predecessor, who has been sitting idle from the date of the order, i.e., from 23.11.2022 until this respondent assumed the charge. In view of the order now complied, the action against the present respondent is dropped by accepting her apology. 2. If the petitioner is still aggrieved, he is at liberty to initiate contempt action against the inspectors who have been holding the charge from the date of the order till M/s.P.Mohanavalli, assumed the charge as Inspector of Police, R5 Virugambakkam Crime Police Station. In the result, this contempt petition is closed.
