Judgment

Arijit Pasayat, J.—Challenge in this appeal is from an order passed by a learned single Judge of the Madhya Pradesh High Court in contempt proceedings. The respondent had filed a writ petition (W.P.No. 4511/1996) which was disposed of with certain directions. Alleging that the directions were not complied with, a petition was filed for initiation of contempt proceedings. Response was filed by the appellants taking a positive stand that the directions have been complied with and whatever was to be legally done has been so done. After taking note of the stand taken by the present appellants who were respondents in the contempt proceeding, learned single Judge dropped the contempt proceeding by accepting the explanation of the respondents as reasonable. It was specifically noted that from the steps taken by the alleged contemnors, it cannot be said that the action of the respondents in the contempt proceedings, i.e. the present appellant, was, in any manner, contemptuous or disrespectful. Having said that, certain further directions were given. The directions given form the subject matter of challenge in this appeal. According to Mr. Vikas Singh, learned Addl. Solicitor Genera
