2. On an earlier occasion on 23.02.2024, it was brought to the notice of this court that the order which is alleged to have been violated by the respondents was appealed against in W.A.(MD)No.1110 of 2023 and interim stay was granted by the learned Division Bench of this Court on 20.07.2023 and hence time was granted to enable the counsel for the petitioner to take appropriate steps and the matter was directed to be posted today. Today, it is brought to the notice of this court that the interim stay is still operating and no vacate stay application is filed by the petitioner as on date.

3. In view of the same, the question of violation of the order passed in the Writ Petition does not arise. Hence, the contempt petition is closed,
