The operative portion of the order is at paragraph-4 and the same reads as under: “4. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he would instruct his client to file one more representation, which needs to be corrected in the light of a Co-ordinate Bench decision dated 19.07.2021 entered in WP(C) No.20224 of 2021 between Chandra Sekhar Parti v. State of Odisha and others. With this proposal, learned AGA is agreeable graciously. In view of the above, petition is disposed off. If the representation of the kind is filed, the same shall be considered on merits by the jurisdiction OP, within an outer limit of eight (8) weeks. All contentions are kept open. It is open to the jurisdictional OP to solicit any information or document from side of the petitioner or any other department, as are required for due consideration of the subject representation; however, in that guise, delay shall not be brooked. Now, no costs.” 2. At the admission stage, learned ASC appearing for the Contemnors has filed the compliance order No.STSCD-EFI- CASE1-0040-2024/10429/SSD, Bhubaneswar dated 07.05.2026, whereby consideration of the subject representation has been made and request of the Complainant is rejected. 3. This Court, being only a Court exercising contempt jurisdiction, cannot undertake critical examination of the correctness or otherwise of the said order, subject to all just exceptions. In view of the above, the CONTC is dropped with liberty to the Complainant to lay a challenge to the rejection in accordance with law elsewhere. In that connection, all contentions are kept open.
