Having perused the pleadings, I am of the view that in the writ petition this Court had directed the respondents to pass an order which was long over due, after considering the facts and circumstances. It appears that order had not been passed and as such this contempt application was filed. As is usual in this State, once the contempt application was filed, the authorities woke up and have passed the order. Mr. Ram Suresh Roy submits that the order is incorrect and while taking one stand in the order, in practice they are adopting a different standard. In my view, once the order has been passed which was required to be passed in terms of the order passed in the writ petition, if the petitioners are aggrieved by that order or any action taken in relation thereto, their remedy would be a fresh writ petition. The same cannot be adjudicated upon in this contempt proceeding. This application is accordingly disposed of with the said liberty. S.Pandey ( Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
