ORDER Date : 20-08-2024 Heard Mr. M. Solo, learned counsel for the applicant.

¶2By an order dated 08.07.2024, the petitioner was allowed to make necessary changes in paragraph 2 of the contempt petition.

¶3By filing this IA, the applicant prays for amendment of paragraph 2 in the contempt petition being COP(C)/9/2024 in the following way: "2. That the instant contempt petition is filed seeking indulgence of this Hon'ble Court under Section 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 read with Article 215 of the Constitution of India for non-compliance of this Hon'ble Court's Order dated 05.12.2023 passed in W.P.(C) No. 74/2023 (Shri. Khezaletuo Neihu-versus-The State of Nagaland and 2 others) wherein this Hon'ble Court while disposing the said writ petition has directed the State respondents to take decision on the petitioner's application dated 17.06.2019 for compassionate appointment in terms of the O.M. dated 17.09.2015, within a period of 3(three) months from the date of receipt of the certified copy of the writ petition and to communicate the decision taken. However, even after lapse of more than 4(four) months from the date of receipt of the Order, the respondents/condemners are yet to consider the petitioner's case for compassionate appointment which amounts to contempt of this Hon'ble Court's order. "

¶4The prayer is allowed. Page No.# 3/3
