While disposing of the said writ petition, this Court directed the respondent No.2 to take necessary action on the communication of respondent No.3 therein vide E-File No.58859/2017-A9 dated 23.01.2020 addressed to the respondent No.2 and also representation of the petitioners dated 17.10.2020, in accordance with the Law, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. At the time of considering the matter, the learned counsel for the respondents placed a copy of the proceedings dated 02.12.2025 passed by the 2nd respondent rejecting the said representation by a speaking order. No reasons are forthcoming as to the delay in implementation of the orders passed by this Court as long back as on 25.11.2021, much less by filing an affidavit explaining the delay, which cannot be appreciated. Be that as it may. Though no counter-affidavit is filed, in the light of the above stated position, this Court is inclined to close the Contempt Case. The petitioners are, however, at liberty to seek recourse to Law against the proceedings dated 02.12.2025. Accordingly, the Contempt Case is closed. No costs. Consequently, all pending applications shall stand closed. _____________________ NINALA JAYASURYA, J Date: 29.01.2026 BLV 3 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NINALA JAYASURYA C.C.No.1351 of 2025 Dt: 29.01.2026 BLV
