Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition is disposed as there is no longer any matter remaining after compliance with the contempt order.

Summary

The petitioner’s counsel informed the Court that the order of contempt had been fully complied with. The Court examined whether any issue remained pending after compliance.
