The aforesaid order made by the State Government shows that the matter is now pending before the competent authority created under the Land Acquisition Act. In view of this circumstance, this Court holds that, nothing survives in the present matter. If the petitioner wants any direction against the authority created under the Land Acquisition Act, that will be a fresh cause of action and contempt proceedings cannot be entertained on the basis of previous order of this Court. So, the petition is disposed of.
