By the instant petition, the petitioner had sought action against the respondent nos. 1 to 3 in accordance with the provisions of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, for disobedience of the order passed by the Division Bench of this Court on 2nd of April, 2004, in Writ Petition No. 218/2004. It appears that by the judgment and order dated 2nd of April, 2004, the Court, while disposing of the writ petition, had directed the respondents to pay the arrears of salary to the petitioner within a period of three 2 months from the date of the judgment. Since the arrears of salary was not paid within a period of three months from the date of the judgment, the contempt petition was filed. It is now brought to the notice of this Court by the learned counsel for the parties that during the pendency of the contempt petition, the respondent no.1- Shri Sayyed Mohammed Sayyed Khan-E-Zama expired on 10/1/2006. The new management paid certain amount towards the arrears of salary of the petitioner and the matter has been amicably settled between the petitioner and the new management. A pursis in that regard is also filed in this Court. The pursis is dated 4/2/2009 and bears stamp No. 1663/2009. In view of the aforesaid position, it is necessary to drop the contempt proceedings against the respondents. The contempt proceedings against the respondents are hereby dropped. The notice dated 2/11/2004 stands discharged. Contempt petition is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE RMP
