Sri.M.P.Ashok Kumar, learned counsel appearing for the respondents, has filed a counter affidavit before this Court. In that has stated in too many words that after the disposal of the writ petition and the contempt petition sufficient progress has been made by the Municipality for effective disposal of the waste and garbage. Further, he has produced, along with the counter affidavit, certain documents, which would clearly indicate that the Municipality is taking effective and efficacious steps. In view of the above, at this stage, it may not be appropriate for this Court to initiate any contempt proceedings against the respondents. Therefore, the contempt proceedings requires to be dropped and it is dropped. Ordered accordingly. H.L.Dattu Chief Justice A.K.Basheer vku/- Judge
