2
given to appear before this court, respondent did not appear. Hence on 15.2.2018, non-bailable warrant was issued. Today respondent was arrested and produced before this court. Since the subject matter is settled, I do not think
it is necessary to direct the respondent to execute any bailable bond before this court. Therefore, release the respondent without any further conditions.
Contempt case is closed accordingly.
