W.A.No.336 of 2021
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Hima Kohli)
1. The appellants (writ petitioners in W.P.No.13849 of 2021) are
aggrieved by an interim order dated 23.06.2021, passed by the learned
Single Judge whereby, a stay application (IA.No.1 of 2021) moved by
them for suspending the operation of G.O.Ms.No.10 dated
27.02.2021, issued by the respondent No.1 and the consequential
show cause notices, has been dismissed.
2. Having perused the impugned order that refers to the order dated 26.12.2018 passed in W.P.No.46869 of 2018 and the order dated 27.12.2019 passed in Contempt Case No.714 of 2019 wherein, the writ petitioners in W.P.No.46869 of 2018 had raised a grievance of non-compliance of the undertaking recorded on behalf of the State in the order dated 26.12.2018, we are prima facie of the opinion that the impugned order does not warrant any interference.
