Petition deemed unnecessarily pending as both parties are not cooperating in the execution proceeding filed by the respondent for restoration; the execution proceeding has been dismissed and no final order has been passed.

The Court observed that due to lack of cooperation, the petition has become infructuous and, for all practical purposes, should be closed.

No monetary penalties were imposed.
The Court, as a last indulgence, directed that the matter be listed for hearing on 27 July 2026 to await the final decision on the petition for restoration of the execution proceeding.

Respondent’s counsel was permitted one final indulgence to await the final decision on the restoration petition.
Parties are expected to cooperate in the execution proceeding to avoid further procedural delays.
