Till the decision is taken on the representation of the petitioners, the impugned order shall be kept abeyance.” Since this order was not complied with, the petitioner was constrained to file the present contempt petition. 2 The respondent has filed an affidavit stating that in compliance of the Court’s order dated 14.12.2010 he has passed order dated 23.6.2011 after hearing the claim of the petitioner. The claim of the petitioner has not been found suitable inasmuch as the degree granted to the petitioner is not a recognized degree. Therefore, in the considered view of this Court as far as compliance of the order dated 14.12.2010 is concerned that has been done. There is no merit in the contempt petition and the contempt petition is liable to be dismissed and is hereby dismissed. Notices are also discharged. Let the matter be consigned for records.
