(Oral) By way of instant Contempt Petition, prayer has been made on behalf of petitioners for initiation of contempt proceedings against the respondents for their having not complied with mandate contained in the judgment dated 3.10.2024 passed by a Coordinate Bench of his Court in CWP No. 11201 of 2024 titled as Tilak Raj and Ors. Vs. State of Himachal Pradesh & Anr., whereby direction came to be issued to the respondents to decide the representations filed by the petitioners within a period of four weeks. Since despite repeated requests, aforesaid direction 2 never came to be complied with, petitioners are 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 four 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 four weeks, failing which they would aggravate the contempt and petitioners would be at liberty to get the present petition revived so that appropriate action in accordance with law is taken against the erring officials.
