7.The learned Additional Government Pleader would also submit that the copy of this Court's order dated 05.12.2016 has not reached the respondent herein before the order passed on 14.12.2016 and had the same been reached or served on the respondent, certainly, the respondent would not have passed any order in violation of the order of this Court. He would further submit that the respondent had no idea or intention to violate the orders of this Court and therefore, immediately on receipt of the Court's order dated 05.12.2016, the proceedings dated 14.12.2016, has been cancelled, whereby not only the appointment which is shown as violation by the petitioner but also the appointees numbering 11 persons, who had been given appointment as Village Assistants, has been cancelled and those who joined in service have immediately been relieved. Therefore, the learned Additional Government Pleader would submit that in view of the order dated 18.01.2017 of the respondent and in view of the aforesaid submissions made, the contempt petition may be closed as the respondent does not have any intention at any point of time to violate the order of this Court.
8.This Court has considered the said submissions made by the learned Additional Government Pleader and noted the averments made in the order of the respondent dated 18.01.2017. Considering the same, no further orders are required in this contempt petition and the contempt petition need not be proceeded any further.
