The respondent No.2/Chief Executive Officer, passed the order on 21.06.2023 and was dispatched on same day i.e. 21.06.2023 through speed post. So there is no question of willful default in passing the order and dispatching the letter to the writ petitioner.
6. It is most respectfully submitted that, in view of the facts and circumstances narrated above the contemnors / respondents have not disobeyed the orders of the Hon'ble High Court and further respectfully submit that no such incidents would take place in future to make any delay in communication of any proceedings which leads to proceed against the contemnors/ respondents under contempt proceedings.

5. Para 5 of the counter affidavit filed by respondent No.2 in I.A.No.2 of 2023 in C.C.No.1310 of 2023 in W.P.No.14398 of 2023, reads as under:
"5. It is respectfully submitted that this Hon'ble Court directed the Respondents herein to consider the representations of the Petitioner dt. 05-09-2022, 12-05- 5 Cc_1310_2023 SN,J 2022 and 30-05-2022 in according with law, duly complying with principles of natural justice. Therefore the Respondents upon considering the said representations dt.05-09-2022, 12-05-2022 and 30-05- 2022, passed order on 21-06-2023 and intimation was sent to the Petitioner through speed post. As per the humble understanding of the Respondents, there was no specific direction to the Respondents to give personal hearing on the representations of the petitioner.
6. It is specifically contended by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondents 1 and 2 that in view of the fact that the order dated 14.06.2023 passed in W.P.No.14398 of 2023 did not specifically indicate an opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioner, therefore, no opportunity of personal hearing was given to the petitioner and therefore, it cannot be said that respondent Nos. 1 and 2 have violated the order of this Court dated 14.06.2023 passed in W.P.No.14398 of 2023.
7. Taking into consideration the averments made at paras 5 and 6 of the counter affidavit filed by the respondent No.2 in the present contempt case and also the averments made in para 5 of the counter filed by respondent No.2 in I.A.No.2 of 2023 in C.C.No.1310 of 2023 in W.P.No.14398 of 2023 (referred to and 6 Cc_1310_2023 SN,J extracted above), this Court opines that there is no deliberate violation of the orders of this Court dated 14.06.2023 passed in W.P.No.14398 of 2023 and accordingly, the contempt case is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs.
Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed.
