Mr. Goswami submits that as the directions passed by this Court have been substantially complied, he would not be pressing the contempt petitions any further. However, the dues receivable by the petitioner be made subject to the outcome of WP(C)/3313/2024. Prayer is not objected to by Mr. J. Chutia, learned counsel appearing for the respondents/contemnors.

The claim of the petitioner for being paid the arrears of his contractual dues, being involved in the proceedings of WP(C) No. 3313/2024, such claim would be subject to the outcome of the said writ petition. Notices issued stand recalled. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
