JUSTICE VIJAYKUMAR A.PATIL ORAL ORDER (PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.SUNIL DUTT YADAV) The present contempt petition has been filed seeking for initiation of appropriate proceedings against the accused for having committed contempt by violating the directions passed in the order dated 01.07.2025 in W.P. No. 103978/2025. 2. The admitted facts are that on 01.07.2025 both the counsels submitted before this Court in W.P. No. 103978/2025 that the Karnataka State Administrative Tribunal at Belagavi on 30.06.2025 had heard and reserved orders as regards interim prayer. In view of the - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-D:9435-DB CCC No. 100242 of 2025 same, this Court directed the respondent authorities not to precipitate the matter any further till orders are passed by the Tribunal. However, it is to be noticed that the orders on the interim prayer came to be pronounced by the Tribunal on 07.07.2025 rejecting the interim prayer. 3. If that were to be so and no action taken violating the order dated 01.07.2025 till the pronouncement of orders by the Tribunal, question of contempt having been committed does not arise. Accordingly, the proceedings are dropped. Sd/- (S.SUNIL DUTT YADAV) JUDGE Sd/- (VIJAYKUMAR A.PATIL) JUDGE BVV, CT:VP LIST NO.: 1 SL NO.: 9
