This is an application for initiation of contempt against the respondents on the foundation that the order dated 04.02.2010 passed by this Court in CWJC No. 1970 of 2010 has not yet been complied with. We have heard Mr. S.B.K. Mangalam, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Harendra Prasad Singh, learned counsel for the State. It is submitted by Mr. Mangalam that despite specific directions of this Court, the State has shown no affirmative attitude to give effect to the aforesaid order dated 04.02.2010. Regard being had to the assertions made and the 2 submissions canvassed by Mr. Mangalam and upon hearing Mr. Harendra Prasad Singh, learned counsel for the State, it is directed that the respondents shall see to it that the order dated 04.02.2010 passed by this Court in CWJC No. 1970 of 2010 is carried out in letter and spirit in quite promptitude. The functionaries of the State should remember that when an order of this nature is passed, they must rise to the occasion and ensure compliance of the same, for the matter concerns the cause of public at large, as has been indicated in the earlier order. With the aforesaid observation, the proceeding for contempt stands dropped. Let a free copy of the order be handed over to Mr. Harendra Prasad Singh, learned counsel for the State, who shall discuss the matter with the learned Advocate General and shall ensure that the order is complied with forthwith.
