A careful perusal of the afore referred order dated 22.08.2023 in WP(C) No.561 of 2023 out of which the captioned contempt petition arises, makes it clear that the only directive to the respondents is to consider petitioner’s representations dated 20.03.2023 and 23.03.2023 and make appropriate speaking order. 7. As a speaking order has been mad qua petitioner’s representations, this Court is of the considered view that order dated 22.08.2023 stands complied. 8. Leaving upon the rights and contentions of the contempt petitioner to assail the speaking order if so advised and if so desired, captioned contempt petition is disposed of as closed. 9.
