It is not in dispute that the authority has taken a decision, albeit late.

3.

At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the decision is not in accordance with law. 4.

We make it clear that the direction given by us, was only to take a decision. It is always open for the petitioner to challenge the decision taken by the Competent Authority by filing a separate proceeding. Hence, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks leave to withdraw this contempt petition with liberty to file an appropriate proceeding seeking to challenge the decision taken by the Competent Authority pursuant to the order dated 23rd June 2025. 5.

Contempt Petition is accordingly disposed of as withdrawn with liberty as prayed.
