ORDER

It is stated by the learned Additional Advocate General appearing for the respondent that as against the order of the Writ Court dated 28.06.2023 passed in WP.No.30197 of 2022, the respondent has preferred an Intra Court Appeal, in which, an order of keeping the contempt proceedings in abeyance has been passed.

2. While that being so, it would not be appropriate for this Court to parallely adjudicate the Contempt Petition, when the Hon'ble Division Bench has seized off the matter. However, a liberty is hereby granted to the petitioner to work out his remedy subject to the outcome of the Writ Appeal.

3. With the above liberty, the Contempt Petition stands closed. 14.06.2024 Index: Yes/No Sni Cont.P.No.724 of 2024 2/2 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
