The respondent is served and he is represented through his learned counsel. 3. At the time of hearing of this matter, it is brought to our notice by the learned counsel appearing for the respondent that the order passed by this Court in W.A.No.144 of 2008 has been stayed by the apex Court in S.L.P.No.11623 of 2008. 4. In view of this development, in our opinion, at this stage, it may not be appropriate for this Court to continue with this contempt proceedings. Accordingly it is disposed of for the present.
