Since the representations of the complainant are considered and an endorsement is issued, we are of the opinion that there is - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-D:17914-DB CCC No. 100367 of 2025 substantial compliance of the directions issued and therefore, further contempt proceedings are dropped. Liberty is reserved to the complainant to challenge the endorsement, if he is so advised. Pending interlocutory applications, if any, stand disposed of as not surviving for consideration.
