J. The petitioner, who was an employee of the respondent, has filed this Contempt Case alleging that the respondent has willfully failed to obey Annexure P1 order, as confirmed by Annexure P2 judgment, by which the respondent was directed to pay wages in terms of Section 17B of the Industrial Disputes Act during the pendency of W.P(C)No.7374 of 2005. A joint statement signed by the petitioner and the respondent dated 10-7-2010 has been placed on record in which it is stated that the dispute involved in W.P(C)No.7374 of 2005 has been settled out of Court and that the employer has agreed to pay to the petitioner a sum of Rs.3,25,000/- in full and final settlement of the petitioner's claims arising out of the award impugned in the writ petition. In such circumstances, as the parties have arrived at an amicable settlement out of Court, we are of the opinion that no further orders are called for in this Contempt Case. It is accordingly closed.
