satisfied with the efforts so far made by the Government of Punjab
towards compliance of our orders, especially the order dated
20-12-2024.

Advocate General and both the officers, we are inclined to grant
more time to take appropriate steps in furtherance of the

clarified that if the State of Punjab requires any assistance, we
direct the Union of India to provide the requisite logistical
support to the authorities of the State of Punjab for the purpose
of compliance of our directions.

will file their respective compliance affidavits a day before the
next date of hearing.
