It is contended that Writ Court vide order dated 25.08.2020 had directed the opposite party to decide the representation of the applicants within a period of six months. The said order was served upon the opposite party on 03.09.2020, but the said direction has not been complied with by the opposite party till date.

However, no notice is issued to the opposite party at this stage. The opposite party is granted three months further time to comply with the order dated 25.08.2020 passed by this Court in Public Interest Litigation (PIL) No.729 of 2020 from the date of production of a self verified copy of this order.

The applicant shall supply a duly stamped registered envelope addressed to the opposite party and another self-addressed envelope to the office within one week from today. The office shall send a copy of this order along with the self-addressed envelope of the applicant with a copy of contempt application to the opposite party within one week thereafter and keep a record thereof.

The opposite party shall comply with the directions of the writ court and intimate the applicant the order through the self-addressed envelop within a week thereafter.

In case, the opposite party does not comply with the order, it would be open to the applicant to approach this court again.

With the aforesaid observations, this application is finally disposed of at this stage.
