petitioner within a period of six months.

¶16

On a perusal of the order dated 24^th April, 2014, of which the contempt is alleged, we do not find that this Court has directed the Committee to complete the verification proceedings within a period of eight months. This Court has only asked the Committee to attempt to complete the verification proceedings within the said time. There is no direction making it obligatory for the Committee to complete the proceedings within eight months. The learned counsel for the Scrutiny Committee has stated that the proceedings would be decided as early as possible and within a period of six months.

¶17

As we do not find that there is any disobedience of the directions issued by this Court, by the respondent-Scrutiny Committee, we dismiss the Contempt Petition, with no order as to costs.
