No. 14966 of 2010 in a public interest litigation by which the State Government was directed to make the District Consumer Forum, Saran fully functional. Show cause filed on behalf of the opposite party no. 3 is on record. Annexure-A appended to the show cause is the report submitted by the Chairman of the District Consumer Forum dated 23.2.2011 which 2 speaks that the District Consumer Forum is functioning and mentions about the number of cases being disposed of by that Forum. But however, the grievance of the counsel for the petitioner is that the post of other members in the Forum is still vacant and the State Government is not taking any action to fill-up such posts. If that be so, it is suffice to say that the concerned authorities are directed to consider to fill up the post of other members of the aforesaid Forum as expeditiously as possible. With the aforesaid observation, this contempt application is disposed of. (T. Meena Kumari, J.) (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.) avin
