¶3The main grievance of the petitioners is that, though this Court, by order dated 14.10.2022, had directed the 2nd respondent to pass final orders on the petitioners' appeal dated 20.12.2021 (challenging the order of removal passed by the 1st respondent dated 29.10.2020), on merits and in accordance with law within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order, no final orders have been passed till date, despite the petitioners having issued a legal notice to the 2nd respondent seeking compliance with the directions of this Court.

4.Heard the learned counsel on either side and perused the records.

¶5Considering the fact that the respondents are already in contempt for non-compliance with the earlier orders of this Court passed in WP.Nos.16647 & 16658 dated 14.10.2022, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to pass final orders on the appeal preferred by the petitioners on Page4 of 5

20.12.2021, after affording them an opportunity of personal hearing, within a period of two weeks from today. The 2nd respondent shall not insist upon the petitioners producing a certified copy of this order, as the same has been passed in the presence of the learned Government Advocate appearing on behalf of the respondents. No costs. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed. 18-06-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order SHR To
