CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.SHANTHI BHUSHAN

ORAL ORDER

(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH)

These contempt petitions have been filed alleging non- compliance of the directions issued by this Court in W.P.No.4601/2020 arising out of the common judgment and order passed by the Writ Court in Mr. Sunderam chetty Vs. State of Karnataka and others and other connected writ petitions.

2. However, it is brought to the notice of this Court that, subsequent to the passing of the aforesaid judgment and order, the State has enacted the Municipal Corporations and Certain Other Laws (Amendment) Act, 2021 (Karnataka Act No.1 of 2022), thereby validating the levy with retrospective effect.

HC-KAR

3. We are of the view that no case of contempt survives for consideration. In view of the subsequent developments, these contempt petitions have been rendered infructuous/ineffective. Accordingly, all these contempt petitions are dismissed as having been rendered infructuous.
