CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE T.M.NADAF
ORAL ORDER
(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH)
These Contempt Petitions have been filed against the interim order passed by this Court in W.A.No.2527/2014.
2. In view of the order dated 02.04.2007, passed by the Supreme Court in SLP (Civil) No.5398/2007, whereby the Supreme Court has stayed the judgment of Division Bench, wherein the Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Act, 1997, has been declared as unconstitutional.
3. These Contempt Petitions do not survive for consideration, inasmuch as the said fact was probably not brought to the notice of the learned Single Judge.
HC-KAR
4. Accordingly, the Contempt Petitions are dropped.
