KAMAL - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:28911 WP No. 18482 of 2021 ORAL ORDER Learned counsel for the petitioner has filed a memo dated 15.06.2026 seeking withdrawal of the writ petition, which reads as under: "The Petitioner in the above matter most respectfully prays that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to permit the Petitioner to withdraw the present Writ Petition, reserving liberty to initiate appropriate contempt proceedings against the Respondents. Consequently, this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to dismiss the above Writ Petition as withdrawn, in the interest of justice and equity." 2. Learned counsel for the respondent raises a serious objection with regard to the above memo to the extent, petitioner seeking liberty to initiate contempt proceedings. He submits there is no question of contempt proceedings on the alleged disobedience order, and even if there is any disobedience, which is not in this case, petitioner is entitled to initiate proceedings for disobedience, but contempt would not arise. 3. At this juncture, counsel for the petitioner would submit that he would not press for liberty for initiating contempt proceedings. However, if there is any violation of the - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:28911 WP No. 18482 of 2021 order passed by this court, he would initiate proceeding for such disobedience. 4. Submissions placed on record. 5. Accordingly, the writ Petition is dismissed as withdrawn. Sd/- (M.G.S. KAMAL) JUDGE HDK List No.: 1 Sl No.: 16
