When the Hon'ble Division Bench has taken cognizance of the appeal and has proceeded with it, it would not be appropriate for this Court to parallelly proceed with the Contempt Petition. However, if liberty is granted to the petitioner to workout his remedies, after final orders are passed in the Writ Appeal, a balance can be struck.

Accordingly, the Contempt Petition stands closed with liberty to the petitioner to workout his remedies subject to the outcome of the Writ Appeal.04.04.2025Index: Yes/NoSpeaking/Non-speaking orderhvk2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Cont.P.No.3358 of 2024ToMr.K.Selvam, The Management, Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation(Salem) Limited, Bharathipuram, Salem Main Road, Rep. by the General Manager, Dharmapuri – 636 705.3/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Cont.P.No.3358 of 2024M.S.
