01.
1. Mr. Rajjeet Roy, learned counsel being present in V.C. submits that he appears in the writ petition on behalf of the opposite party which has been listed before this Court with reference to the contempt application.
2. The contempt application has been listed along with W.P.(C) No.16864 of 2026. The subject matter of the said writ petition is not within the determination of this Bench. However, since the petitioner alleges violation of order dated 26.05.2026 passed by this Court during summer vacation the application alleging contempt has been listed along with writ petition today before this Court.
3. Perusal of the contempt application indicates that the allegation is for willful violation of order dated 26.05.2026 passed in IA No.10172 of 2026 arising out of W.P. (C) No.16864 of 2026.
4. On being asked the learned counsel for the petitioner in the contempt application refers to paragraph 9 of the order dated 26.05.2026 passed in I.A. and submits that the said order has been violated by the alleged contemnor.
5. At paragraph 9 of the order dated 26.05.2026 the following was directed:
“9. In the interim, it is directed that any action taken pursuant to Annexures 2 and 3 shall abide by further order of this Court and shall also abide by result of the writ petition.”
‘Order of termination’ dated 11.06.2026 annexed to the contempt application marked as Annexure-4 cannot be interpreted to be violative of the order dated 26.05.2026. However, the order of termination shall abide by the further orders of this Court and shall also abide by result of this writ petition as directed in the order dated 26.05.2026.
6. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he would withdraw the contempt petition and would pursue the writ petition. He files memo of date indicating his submission which is taken on record. Scanned be updated.

The petitioner shall have the liberty to pursue the remedy as available under law challenging the order dated 11.06.2026.
