ORAL ORDER
(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JAYANT BANERJI)
This petition is filed seeking an initiation of contempt proceedings against the accused for their wilful disobedience of the order dated 06.02.2025 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.No.25385/2024. In the order dated 06.02.2025, the following directions were made: "The impugned order dated 10.09.2024 is set aside. The interim order of stay dated 10.09.2024 passed by the respondent No.2 is continued till consideration of the appeal before the ARCS. The ARCS - respondent No.2 to dispose of the dispute as expeditiously as possible but not later than six months from the date of receipt of this order."
2. In the compliance affidavit filed on 06.07.2026, it has been stated that the Assistant Registrar of Co-operative,
HC-KAR
Societies, Doddaballapura Sub-Division, Doddaballapura has passed the order dated 05.06.2026 and therefore the order passed by the learned Single Judge has been complied with. This is not disputed by the learned Counsel for the complainant.
2. Thus no contempt survives, also in view of the fact that the apology has been tendered in paragraph No.6 of the compliance affidavit. The contempt case is therefore consigned.
