(Oral) By way of instant Contempt Petition, prayer has been made on behalf of the petitioner for initiation of contempt proceedings against the respondents for their having willfully and intentionally disobeyed the directions contained in the order/judgment dated 01.04.2025, rendered in CWP No.4725 of 2025, titled as Piar Singh Vs. HRTC and anr, whereby this Court, while disposing of the writ petition filed by the petitioner, directed the respondents to consider and decide the case of the petitioner in light of judgment dated 17.07.2014, passed in CWP No.3050 of 2014, titled as Nek Ram Vs. State of Himachal Pradesh and Ors. within three weeks. Since despite there being aforesaid direction, no steps, whatsoever, came to be taken at the behest of the respondents for doing the needful, petitioner has approached this Court in the instant proceedings. 2 2. Mr. V.S. Kanwar, Advocate, while accepting notice on behalf of the respondents, 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 three weeks from today. 3. Consequently, in view of the fair stand adopted by learned counsel for the respondents, this Court sees no reason to keep the present petition alive and accordingly, same is closed. However, respondents are directed to do the needful in terms of judgment, alleged to have been violated within a period of three weeks from today, 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.
