Though this Court has given a direction to pass an order, within the specified time, the order was not complied with. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

2. Today, when the matter was taken up for consideration, the learned Government Advocate submitted that the petitioner's appeal was considered and order was passed on 12.12.2016, stating that the petitioner has to work out his remedy before the State Level Committee. He has also produced a copy of the order dated 12.12.2016 for perusal of this Court.

In view of the above, since the order of this Court dated 06.11.2015, made in W.P.(MD)No.20223 of 2015, has been complied with, we are of the opinion that nothing survives for adjudication in this Contempt Petition. The Contempt Petition is closed accordingly. However, the petitioner is at liberty to work out his remedy before the State Level Committee. Since the order has been complied with, appearance of the respondent, the District Collector, Madurai District, is dispensed with.
