- The respondent is S. Elanselvi, Joint Registrar of the Cooperative Society, The Cuddalore District Central Cooperative Bank Ltd, Cuddalore.
- The petition was heard on 09‑Oct‑2026. The Government Advocate for the respondent, Mr. A.R. Balaji, submitted a copy of the Division Bench order dated 01‑Oct‑2026 in CMP No. 13407 of 2024 (W.A.Sr.No. 78914 of 2024), which had condoned delay and kept the contempt proceedings in abeyance.
- The Court observed that the order under dispute is also the subject of the pending writ appeal, and keeping the contempt proceedings pending would serve no useful purpose.
