                                      DATE      :    30.09.2026

                 P.C. :


                 1.          None for the petitioner.
                 2.          The direction is for payment of arrears of salary to
                 the petitioner by respondent no.2, however, it appears that by
                 the passage of time, the order under contempt, must have
                 been complied with. Absence of the petitioner clearly speaks
                 for that.
                 3.          In view of the same, the petition stands disposed
                 of.


                 [VAISHALI PATIL-JADHAV]              [SANDIPKUMAR C.MORE]
