Left with no other option, the applicant filed the present application seeking relief. The respondent had been granted more time for compliance vide order dated 17-09-2019 but even after the expiry of the period, any decision is yet to be taken by the respondents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Upon careful perusal of the facts and circumstances, the Court has found it fit to initiate contempt proceedings against the respondent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lamenting over the sorry state of affairs with respect to the compliance of its orders, the Court has passed strict remarks taking the concerned administrative officers to the task. The remarks have been reproduced below for reference:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis Court is noticing every day that apparently the officers concerned, who were directed to act as per the order of the Court, are not complying with the orders at the first instance and the aggrieved party is forced to file contempt application and even after granting further time to comply with the order of the writ Court passed in contempt application, the orders not being complied with. Apparently, the Officers are becoming habitual and not complying with the orders of this Court at the first instance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is a sorry state of affairs and it is expected that the opposite party shall make every effort and shall also issue necessary orders in this regard to the subordinate authorities to strictly comply with the orders at the first instance itself, otherwise the Court will take a serious view of the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em>In view of the above, the Court has allowed the present contempt application issuing notice to the respondent to appear in person and show cause as to why charges be not framed against him under Section 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act for wilful disobedience of the aforementioned orders.
