It appears that petitioner filed instant contempt petition alleging disobedience of interim order dated 23.07.2020 passed in D.B. Civil Writ Petition No.7364/2020.

[2026:RJ-JP:7541-DB] (2 of 2) [CCP-30/2021] 4. The impugned order dated 23.07.2020 reads as under:- “Let notice be issued to respondents for 21.10.2020. In the meanwhile, reservation of the petitioner shall remain stayed” 5. Along with reply filed by the respondent, final judgment/order dated 07.12.2020 passed in D.B. Civil Writ Petition No.7364/2020 has been placed on record. In the final judgment, following order has been passed:- “Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Tribunal to dispose of the Original Application filed by the petitioner expeditiously in accordance with law preferably within one month from today. In the meantime, in case, petitioner has not been already reverted, his reversion shall remain stayed, till the disposal of the Original Application by the Central Administrative Tribunal.” 6. In view of final judgment/order dated 07.12.2020, the interim stay order dated 23.07.2020 has been modified and there is no absolute stay order in respect of non-reversion of petitioner, hence, the issue of disobedience of interim order dated 23.07.2020 has become redundant and does not arise. 7. In such view, present contempt petition stands disposed of. 8. Notices of contempt stand discharged. (ANIL KUMAR UPMAN),J (SUDESH BANSAL),J LALIT MOHAN /6
