                                                  ORDER

04.10.2024 In the instant contempt petition, the petitioner has complained non-

compliance of Judgment dated 05.06.2023.

Statement of facts has been filed by the respondents on 09.09.2024,

wherein, it is being inter alia stated that a time barred appeal has been filed

against the Judgment on 27.09.2024, as such, in presence thereof, the

contempt petition be dismissed.

It is settled law that mere filing of an appeal or its pendency would

not operate as a stay. The respondents/contemnors thus cannot delay the

implementation of the judgment wherein the instant contempt petition has

arisen on the ground of filing and pendency of time barred appeal.

List on 21.10.2024.

Meantime, the respondents/contemnors are directed to report

compliance of the judgment without any further delay by or before next date,

failing which, coercive measures shall follow.
