In the circumstances, it is not possible at this stage to take any action for contempt against Respondent Nos.1 to 3. 2. It is however, clarified that if in law Respondent Nos.1 to 3 or any one of them is bound to take action against Respondent Nos.4 and 5 inter-alia in view of the order dated 29.9.2007 in the above Writ : 2 : Petition, they ought to do so. The mere dismissal of this Contempt Petition will not entitle them not to do so. Further all the rights of the Petitioner to enforce her rights including those arising from the order dated 29.9.2007 are kept specifically open. 3. In the circumstances, the Contempt Petition is accordingly disposed of.
