The contempt petition is filed making the grievance that the order dated 19-09-2019 passed by learned Single Judge in WP(C). No. 399 of 2018 is not complied with. The operative part of the said order reads as follows: “In view of this situation as it pertains, it will be expedient that the instant writ petition be disposed of at this stage itself, with a direction that the case of the petitioner be examined by the concerned authorities who will decide the same as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of 4(four) months from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this order.
Needless to say, the petitioner will be at liberty to seek recourse to fresh legal remedy if a new cause of action arises. ” 3. Learned AG appearing for the respondents submits that the case of the petitioner for regularization was directed to be considered by the concerned authority as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of 4(four) months. He further submits that there are nearly about 1500 cases for regularization which are under the consideration of the government, therefore, it is taking time. Nevertheless, he states that within 3(three) months from today, appropriate decision would be taken on the recommendation of the petitioner’s regularization. Statement accepted. 4. In the light of the above, learned counsel for the petitioner fairly concedes that the grievance raised in the petition is sufficiently redressed, he therefore, does not want to proceed further. 5. Petition accordingly stands disposed of. Judge Meghalaya 11. 12. 2020 “Samantha PS”
