ORDER

¶22

The present Contempt Petition has been filed alleging violation of

¶23

the orders of this Court dated 09.08.2024 made in W.P(MD) No.29034 of 2023, wherein, this Court has directed the authorities to consider the proposal submitted by the Management for approval of appointment of the writ petitioner.

¶24

2. In compliance of the order of this Court, the authorities have passed an order on 03.06.2025, approving the appointment of the writ petitioner with effect from 12.11.2022. However, it is the grievance of the writ petitioner that her appointment should have been approved with effect from 10.10.2017 onwards.

¶25

3. Considering the fact that, no positive direction was issued to approve the appointment from the date of initial appointment, this Court is inclined to close the Contempt Petition with liberty to the writ petitioner to challenge the order dated 03.06.2025, if she is so advised. 2/4
