For petitioner Ms. D. Sahithya for Mr. M.

Faced with the above situation, learned counsel for contempt petitioner sought leave of this Court to not press the captioned contempt petition for the present but made a plea to preserve the rights and contentions of the contempt petitioner to come to this Court with adequate material. A scanned reproduction of the endorsement made by learned counsel in this regard in the case file is as follows: Page Nos.2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Cont. Petn. No.3220 of 2024 3.
