                                         DATED : 28/04/2026
            P. C. :

                         Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner
            has not contacted him and therefore, a possible inference can be
            drawn that the order has been complied with. The learned AGP
            confirms that the petitioner has already been reinstated. In view of
            the same, nothing survives in the contempt petition and it stands
            disposed of.
