"...Having considered the matter in the attending facts and circumstances of the case, till the returnable date; the impugned decision of the Director, NEIFM, Government of India, Ministry of AYUSH, Pasighat, dated 01.10.2019, for conducting the interview on 15.10.2019 in the office of the Director of the All India Institute of Ayruveda, Mathura Road, Gautam Puri, Sarita Vihar, Delhi-110076, for the posts of Herbarium Curator/Museum Curator, Ethnobotanist, and Pharmacognosist, for which Page No.# 3/4 separate call letters, stated to have been issued to the petitioners herein viz.

It is alleged in the present contempt petition that after passing of the said order dated 04.10.2019, the respondents had scheduled the interview for the post of Botanist, which was also advertised vide the same advertisement dated 02.06.2017, by which the post of Ethnobotanist, Pharmacognosist, Herbarium Curator/Museum Curator etc were also advertised.
