From perusal of the document (Annexure C-4) annexed with the petition, it transpires that pending representation of the petitioner has been decided by the Office of the Directorate Health Services by which the representation of the petitioner has been rejected on 30.11.2022. By the order under contempt the coordinate bench of this Court has passed following order in Para-4 that:

¶21

"Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, looking to the limited prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner and further considering that the representation submitted by the petitioner was received by the office of respondent No.3 on 06.08.2021 and as submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner, the same is still undecided, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider and decide petitioner's representation at the earliest preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of order passed by this Court."

With a direction was given to the office of Directorate Health Services, Raipur to decide the pending representation of the petitioner, the same has been decided by the Office of Directorate Health Services, Raipur on 30.11.2022 in which, I do not find any willful violation of the order
