"In these circumstances, it is appropriate that the authorities take a decision with respect to the claim of the petitioners in accordance with law before they can be allowed to approach this Court in writ jurisdiction.

(2.) ACCORDING to the petitioner, his case has not been considered by the competent authorities. I have heard Shri Sanjiv Bansal, learned counsel for the petitioner and also perused the record.
The petitioner, apart from filing the present contempt petition, has also issued a notice of contempt Annexure P-3. It was replied vide Annexure P-4 that a speaking order passed on 3.7.2001 was communicated to the petitioner by the competent authorities. Adverting to the order dated July 3, 2001, copy of which is Annexure P-2, its bare perusal reveals that the representation of the petitioner was considered and the order has been passed thereon. The relevant part of the order is reproduced as under :-
