The applicant’s counsel, Abhishek Tiwari and Anil Kumar Shukla, informed the bench that the writ order had been fully complied with. The Court examined this statement and found no basis for proceeding with contempt proceedings. Consequently, the Court held that the contempt application was rendered infructuous. The application was therefore dismissed.
