(Oral) By way of instant Contempt Petition, prayer has been made on behalf of the petitioner for initiation of contempt proceedings against the respondent for his having willfully and intentionally disobeyed the directions contained in the order/judgment dated 31.12.2024, rendered in CWP No.14465 of 2024, titled as Smt. Renu Bala Vs. State of Himachal Pradesh and others, whereby Coordinate Bench of this Court, while disposing the writ petition filed by the petitioner, granted liberty to the petitioner to file an appropriate representation to the respondent-Department within four weeks. Coordinate Bench of this Court further directed the competent authority to take appropriate decision upon the representation filed by the petitioner within eight weeks. Since despite there being aforesaid 2 direction, no steps, whatsoever, came to be taken at the behest of the respondent for doing the needful, petitioner has approached this Court in the instant proceedings. 2. Mr. Ravi Chauhan, learned Deputy Advocate General, while accepting notice on behalf of the respondent, states that though he has every reason to believe and 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 learned Additional Deputy General, this Court sees no reason to keep the present petition alive and accordingly, same is closed. However, respondent is directed to do the needful in terms of judgment, alleged to have been violated within a period of two weeks from today, failing which, he 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. Notice issued to the respondent is discharged. August 25, 2025 (Sandeep Sharma), (Sunil) Judge
