certificate and there is no initial over the said over writing.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the document i.e. the certificate dated 17/01/2025 produced by learned counsel for the State. Perusal of the certificate dated 17/01/2025 shows that the petitioner has been registered as inter state agricultural cattle businessman. The said document is taken on record. However, with regard to the apprehension raised by learned counsel for the petitioner about over writing in the said certificate, it is directed that the same shall be provided to the petitioner by putting the initial of the issuing authority.

Since the order has been complied with, therefore, no deliberate disobedience of the order passed by this Court is made out. Accordingly, the instant contempt petition is disposed of.
