JUDGMENT
This contempt case is now incapable of further prosecution because, through a separate order in the writ petition, I have already extended the time frame for compliance of the directions of the judgment till 20.12.2022.
I therefore, close this contempt case; however, leaving full liberty to the petitioner to seek a rehearing, if the directions in the judgment are not complied with even after the extended period.
