The opposite party, represented by Munna Pandey, produced an order dated 11‑09‑2026 showing that the representation had been decided. The applicant did not dispute the existence of this order.

The instructions filed were taken on record as Appendix‑A. No further punitive action was taken in the contempt proceeding.
