Accordingly, the instant petition is disposed of by providing that the representations of the petitioners dated 28.10.2023 and 29.11.2023 shall be decided by the Committee in terms of Government Order dated 12 May 2016 within a period of twelve weeks from the date of communication of the instant order along with photocopy of the representations to respondent No.2. Respondent No. 2 will transmit the representations to the Chairperson of the Committee so that the same are decided by the Committee expeditiously." Learned counsel for the applicants submits that a certified copy of the aforesaid order was submitted for compliance before the opposite party, but the opposite party has willfully not complied with the order and, thus, has committed civil contempt liable for punishment under Section 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. Prima facie, a case of contempt has been made out for punishing the opposite party for willful disobedience of the writ Court order. However, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, one more opportunity is accorded to the opposite party to comply with the aforesaid order of the writ Court in its letter and spirit within four months from the date of production of a copy of this order. The applicants shall supply a duly stamped registered envelope addressed to the opposite party and another self-addressed stamped envelope to the office within one week from today. The office shall send a copy of this order along with the self- addressed envelope of the applicants with a copy of contempt application to the opposite party within one week thereafter and keep a record thereof. The opposite party shall comply with the directions of the writ Court and intimate the applicant(s) of the order through the self-addressed envelop within a week thereafter. With the aforesaid observations, this application is disposed of at this stage with liberty to the applicants to move a fresh application, if the order is not complied with by the opposite party within the stipulated time as aforementioned.
