He has produced therewith an order dated 24.7.2009 Annexure R1(a) which has obviously been passed only after the contempt of court case was instituted. Though I am not able to find any materials to explain the delay in passing of the order, I do not think it is necessary to proceed with the contempt of court case. Accordingly it is closed. I make it clear that it will be open to the petitioner to take up such contentions that are available to him arising from the delay incurred by the respondents in passing an order notwithstanding the rigid time earlier fixed by this Court under the judgment dated 21.11.2008.
