Respondents, specifically the District Education Officer and the Block Education Extension Officer, submitted supplementary show‑cause statements indicating that they had complied with the order. The court examined these submissions and the accompanying records. Finding that the respondents had indeed complied, the court concluded that there was no ground to continue the contempt proceedings. Consequently, the contempt petition was consigned, effectively dismissing it.
