Dear Friends Thanks for all that response. These aspirants have already got orders from the court in their favour. Since we had approached the authorities, even the PM, it was felt that if we go in for contempt the alibi would be that the matter is sub-judice. We have now got information that there is some progress. We have also sought an appointment with MoS, Shri Narayanaswamy and would be meeting him in the next couple of days. We hope something positive will come out.
