2. Vide order dated 25.04.2019, the Court directed as under:-
"4. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and after perusing the material available on record and seeing the limited contention made by the parties and after perusing para no.9 of the reply wherein the respondents have taken a categoric stand that no final adverse order has been passed against the petitioners and the same shall be passed after giving the petitioners opportunity of hearing and taking their version on record, both these writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to the respondents to take the complete stand of the petitioners on record and decide the issue of ban/listing/delisting/

(2 of 3) [WCP-1047/2019]
continuing/removal of the petitioners within a period of 60 days from today. The petitioners shall be provided with all the record which they require to defend their case within a period of 15 days from today. The respondents shall thereafter require to take the petitioners' written statement along with documents on record and then provide opportunity of hearing to the petitioners before passing the final order. The petitioners shall be at liberty to challenge any order, in case need arises.
5. Stay petitions also stand disposed of accordingly."
3. As per the reply/compliance report filed on behalf of the
respondents, vide order dated 21.10.2024 (Annexure-R/1), a
fresh order in compliance of order dated 25.04.2019 has been
passed after serving a notice on the petitioner and after taking his
reply on record.
4. It has been submitted that order dated 21.10.2024 is a
speaking and a reasoned order and hence, no disobedience of
order dated 25.04.2019 has been made by the respondents.
5. After perusing order dated 21.10.2024, this Court is of the
clear opinion that the same is not as per the directions issued by
the Court vide order dated 25.04.2019. The said order neither
reflects the fact of any personal hearing been afforded to the
petitioner nor does it reflect the fact that the averments raised by
the petitioner in his reply had been taken into consideration while
passing order dated 21.10.2024.

6. In view of the above, this Court is of the clear opinion that
order dated 21.10.2024 cannot be termed to be in strict
compliance of order dated 25.04.2019.
7. However, with a view to provide a last opportunity to the
respondents, let the matter be listed on 13.03.2026. Before that
date, the respondents shall be under an obligation to provide an
opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioner and after
providing the same, pass a fresh order while clearly dealing with
the grounds as raised by him in his reply. Let the order as passed
be placed on record by the next date. In absence thereof,
appropriate orders of punishment against the responsible
authority, shall be passed.
8. List the matter on 13.03.2026.
