In view of the subsequent developments, as on today the reliefs sought for by the complainants-petitioners in this contempt petition does not survive for consideration of this court and, therefore, cognizance of the contempt petition cannot be taken by us.

However, liberty is reserved to the complainants-petitioners to move this Court again after the disposal of S.L.P.No.9532 of 2007. Ordered accordingly. H.L.Dattu Chief Justice K.T.Sankaran Judge vku/-
