DATE : 1 st APRIL, 2009 By this petition, the petitioner seeks action against the respondent for willful non- compliance of the directions issued by the division bench of this Court by the judgment dated 25th of January, 2008 in Writ Petition No. 2099/2006, directing the respondent to reinstate the petitioner in service within a period of six weeks. It is the case of the petitioner that the directions issued by the Court were not complied with by the respondent and the petitioner is not reinstated in service. It is brought to the notice of this Court by the learned Assistant Government  Pleader that by an order passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court on 22nd of September, 2008 in Special Leave to Appeal (Civil) No. 24532/2008, while issuing notice to the respondents, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has granted status quo as obtaining between the parties regarding the reinstatement of the present petitioner in service. In such background, according to the learned Assistant Government Pleader, there was no question of reinstating the petitioner in service. In view of these developments, it is necessary to drop the contempt proceedings initiated against the respondent. The contempt proceedings against the respondent are hereby dropped. The contempt petition is disposed of with no orders as to costs. JUDGE RMP
