(Oral) By way of present 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 order/judgment dated 30.07.2024, rendered in CWP No.6971 of 2024, whereby Coordinate Bench of this Court, while disposing of the petition, directed the respondent to decide the representation of the petitioner within a period of four weeks and if, on consideration of the representation, it is found that the petitioner is entitled to monetary emoluments, then the same be paid to him on or before 30.12.2024. Since despite there being aforesaid direction, no steps, whatsoever, came to be taken at 2 the behest of the respondent for doing the needful, petitioner has approached this Court in the instant proceedings. 2. Mr. Dheeraj K.Vashist, Advocate, while putting in appearance on behalf of respondent, 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 two weeks from today. 3. Consequently, in view of the fair stand adopted by the learned counsel representing the respondent, this Court sees no reason to keep the present petition alive and accordingly, same is closed. However, respondent-contemnor 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.
