Contempt petition

Need your valuable advice on the following query on . A contempt petition was filed as an interim order of injunction was violated in 2008. Meanwhile the notice of motion in which the interim order was passed came up for hearing and the order of injunction was vacated in 2011. Will the contempt petition be disposed off in such a matter. It is still at admission stage.

As the injunction order under violation itself has been reversed, there is no use of continuing with contempt filed against its violation though the proceedings are separate and have no direct connection but the fate of such petition is known in the light of subsequent development.

Definitely not.
If the order of the high court was violated at the time when the order was very much in force then the contempt application has got merit which the high court would certainly dispose of on merit.

But in case of appeals against interim orders why does the court defer the contempt petitions till disposal of such appeals? That shows that the two are connected to each other in some way? Please explain
