intimation to attend the ongoing medical examination.

Mr. Tapan Bhanja, learned Advocate appearing for the alleged contemnors submits that, steps are taken for issuance of necessary intimation to the petitioner no.

for his participation in the ongoing medical examination.

This contempt proceeding arose from the judgment and order dated September 25, 2025 which has also been affirmed by the Hon’ble Division Bench in MAT 99 of 2026 under the order dated May 20, 2026 passed by the Hon’ble Division Bench. Paragraph of the said judgment dated September 15, 2025 shows that, the petitioners were allowed to be considered within the consideration zone for next step of the selection process strictly in accordance with law and the said next step was the detailed medical examination. Since except petitioner no. 4 all other petitioners have received the call for detailed medical examination, the cause of contempt in this contempt proceeding does not survive any further in favour of petitioner nos. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6. The instant contempt proceeding shall survive henceforth only for the petitioner no. 4.

Accordingly, this contempt proceeding CPAN 1725 of 2025 stands dropped and closed insofar, as petitioner nos. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 are concerned and shall remain pending for petitioner no. 4.
