Be that as it may, terms of the order dated 19th November 2024 indicates that it was not in the nature of directions. Even the case of the Petitioners was considered. We do not see any breach of the said order muchless intentional or deliberate.

6.

We are therefore not inclined even to issue notice in this contempt petition.

7.

Petition stands dismissed.
