(Oral) By way of instant Contempt Petition, prayer has been made on behalf of petitioner for initiation of contempt proceedings against the respondents for their having not complied with mandate contained in the judgment dated 29.7.2024 passed by a Coordinate Bench of his Court in CWP No. 7362 of 2024 titled as Ruchi Sahni Vs. State of Himachal Pradesh & Anr., whereby direction came to be issued to the respondents to decide the representation filed by the petitioner within a period of four weeks. Since despite repeated requests, aforesaid direction never came to 2 be complied with, petitioner is compelled to approach this Court in the instant proceedings. 2. Mr. Rajan Kahol, learned Additional Advocate General, appearing on behalf of the 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 three weeks from today. 3. Consequently, in view of the fair stand adopted by the learned Additional Advocate General, 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 three 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.
