O R D E R

Complaining that the Government has not complied with the orders of the Division Bench dated 26.09.2016, the petitioner had filed the above Contempt Petition. Pending the Contempt Petition, on 19.07.2017, 1/4

the Government has passed G.O.Ms.No.256, appointing the petitioner as a Professor in Homeopathy subject to the result of the review petition that is filed by the contesting respondent namely, Dr.P.Radhakrishnan in Review Petition No.100 of 2017. Therefore, the order of the Division Bench is complied with in effect.

2.However, subsequently, it is seen that a Division Bench of this Court had allowed the Review Petition Nos.100 and 211 of 2017, due to which, the services of the petitioner herein stood terminated. Hence, we see no reason to keep the contempt petition pending any longer. This Contempt Petition is therefore, closed.
