State of Karnataka and others and other connected writ petitions. 2. However, it is brought to the notice of this Court that, subsequent to the passing of the aforesaid judgment and order, the State has enacted the Municipal Corporations and Certain Other Laws (Amendment) Act, 2021 (Karnataka Act No.1 of 2022), thereby validating the levy with retrospective effect. - 18 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010174362024 NC: 2026:KHC:53845-DB CCC No. 344 of 2024 C/W CCC No. 947 of 2022 CCC No. 948 of 2022 AND 8 OTHERS 3. We are of the view that no case of contempt survives for consideration. In view of the subsequent developments, these contempt petitions have been rendered infructuous/ineffective. Accordingly, all these contempt petitions are dismissed as having been rendered infructuous. Sd/- (D K SINGH) JUDGE Sd/- (H.SHANTHI BHUSHAN) JUDGE RKA List No.: 2 Sl No.: 12
