I do not think this is a fit case to proceed with under the Contempt of Courts Act. Accordingly, Contempt of Court case is closed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to pursue remedies to see that temporary promotion is regularized or take appropriate steps to see that lower DPC is convened for promotion to the posts, without further delay.
