VERSUS
AMBIKA PRASAD PANDA & ORS. RESPONDENT(S)
O R D E R
1. Leave granted.
2. We see no grounds to interfere with the impugned order
since the matter lies beyond the scope of contempt

the respondent(s)/Authorities to whom they will make a
representation setting out their grievances.

for the respondent(s)/Eastern Coalfields Limited has, on the
special facts of the case, no objection for the said course
of action.

the appellants to make a representation to the
respondent(s)/Eastern Coalfields Limited, who shall act in
1
accordance with this order and dispose of the representation
in six weeks.
