ORDER
This contempt petition has been filed that the order of this Court passed in W.P.(MD)No.15570 of 2026 dated 10.06.2026 has not been complied with.
2. Today, when this contempt petition is taken up for hearing, the learned Government Advocate (Civil side) submits that as against the order passed in a similar writ petition, a writ appeal has been preferred by the Accountant General, Chennai, before the Principal Seat in W.A.No.2297 of 2026, wherein, the Division Bench of the Principal Seat, by order dated 30.07.2026, granted an order of interim stay. He further submits that writ appeals have also been preferred in all other similar matters and in some of the appeals, notice has been ordered.
3. Since the issue involved in the contempt petition has already been seized off by the Division Bench of the Principal Seat in W.A.No.2297 of 2026, wherein, an order of interim stay has been granted, this contempt petition is closed with liberty to the petitioner to workout his remedy based on the outcome of the writ appeal. 01-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No ogy __________
