Since the order now alleged to be in contempt, is now pending in W.A. No.1700 of 2023. Even though no order of stay has been passed, this court, considers that it would be improper to proceed with the contempt. Therefore, the contempt petition is closed for the present, but subject to the outcome of the decision in the writ appeal, the petitioner will be at liberty to reopen the contempt. No costs. 21.07.2023 Asr Index : Yes/No Speaking/Non Speaking order To 1.Mr.Sathish Executive Engineer/O&M Authorised Officer Tamil Nadu Electricity Board Udhagamandalam The Nilgiris - 643 001 2.The Government Pleader High Court, Madras N.SESHASAYEE, J., Asr
