O R D E R
Since this contempt petition has been filed alleging willful disobedience of the interim order passed in a writ petition and subsequently, the said writ petition itself has been disposed of and a separate contempt petition has also been filed in Cont.P.(MD) No.1163 of 2024 by the very same petitioners alleging willful disobedience of the directions issued by this Court in the writ petition, the question of keeping this contempt petition pending does not arise.
