The writ petition was disposed of directing that the disciplinary authority shall consider the recommendation made by the Advisory committee, for consequential action in compliance with the principles of natural justice. The judgment was rendered, taking note of the fact that, Annexure-A2 report of the Advisory Committee was pending consideration of the disciplinary authority. 3. Now it is revealed from the statement filed by the respondent that, according to the department, the Advisory committee which submitted the report referred above was not a properly constituted one and therefore, yet another COC.No.854/08 2 Advisory Committee was constituted. It is also stated that the newly constituted committee has submitted a report which is produced along with the statement filed on behalf of the first respondent in this case. In the statement, it is also stated that an adhoc disciplinary authority has also been designated on 5.8.2008 for taking consequential action on the report and that the adhoc disciplinary authority is initiating action based on the new report that has been obtained and that action will be concluded as expeditiously as possible. In view of the action thus taken by the authorities, as detailed above, I am not satisfied that the petitioner has made out a case of deliberate disobedience of the directions in the judgment. Therefore the contempt petition is closed and the submission that necessary action based on the report shall be concluded, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 8 weeks from today is recorded.
