In that view of the matter, this Court finds no disobedience, much less willful disobedience, to the order passed by this Court warranting exercise of contempt jurisdiction.

The Contempt Case is accordingly closed.

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall also stand dismissed. No order as to costs.
