It was alleging non-compliance of the time limit fixed by this Court in that order that the petitioner has filed this Contempt Case application. 2.

The learned Public Prosecutor now submits that the sanction has been accorded on 25.10.08. If so, there is no impediment in laying the final report before the court concerned.
