¶1Heard Sri Sunil Kumar Chaudhary, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Sunil Bajpai, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel.

¶2Sri Sunil Bajpai, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel has produced a copy of the office memo dated 06.12.2023 issued by the Engineer-in-Chief, Department of Irrigation, U.P., Lucknow along with relevant documents whereby a sum of Rs.19,61,9694/- and Rs.17,42,555/- have been sanctioned. The same are taken on record.

¶3Sri Sunil Bajpai, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel has submitted that the aforesaid amount may likely be paid to the petitioner within a period of fifteen days.

¶4Be that as it may, when in compliance of order of the Writ Court all the aforesaid amount has been sanctioned, therefore, I am of the view that there is no purpose to keep this contempt petition pending any longer.

¶5Accordingly, the instant contempt petition is dismissed.

¶6Notices, if any, stand discharged.

¶7However, it is expected that the amount in question may be credited in the account of the petitioner within a period of fifteen days, to be more precise on or before 30.12.2023, failing which, liberty is given to learned counsel for the petitioner to file an application for revival of the contempt petition and if such application is filed and if it is found that the order of the Writ Court has not been complied with, any coercive order may be passed under the Contempt of Courts Act on such application.
