2020, dated 08.04.2022 and restore the same.

2.It is not in dispute that the contempt application filed against the order

passed in W.P.No.22235 of 2018 had already been closed by this Court. The

learned counsel for the petitioner made a submission that the Writ Appeal filed by

the respondent was dismissed. They have made a submission before this Court that

they are in the process of implementing the order. However, the respondent

preferred further appeal before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, which is now

pending. During the pendency of the appeal before the Apex Court of India,

reopening of the closed contempt petition becomes unnecessary. Therefore, the

petitioner is at liberty to file an appropriate petition after the dismissal of the

appeal, now pending before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.

3.With this liberty, this sub application stands dismissed.
