In this contempt petition, Justice Pankaj Purohit closed the proceedings after finding that the Competent Authority had decided Santoshi Devi's representation on 04.04.2026, complying with the Writ Court's order dated 17.11.2025 which mandated a decision within six months. The court held that since the representation had been decided pursuant to the earlier Writ Court order, the petitioner remains free to challenge that decision through appropriate legal proceedings, rendering the contempt petition moot.
