Under that order certain compliances were expected from the respondents. They were expected by 5th June, 2006. The respondents have complied those directions a little belatedly by 20th July, 2006. The request is limited that the delay in complying the direction be condoned. Mr. Deshmukh, the counsel for the petitioner opposes the same. Even so, in our ( 2 ) view, this is not something for which the respondents could be made to suffer. They have complied with the directions, though there is slight delay.
