THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU CONTEMPT CASE No.636 of 2009 ORDER: This Contempt Case is filed complaining willful disobedience on the part of the respondents in complying with the order, dated 24.07.2007, passed by this Court in W.P.M.P.No.35641 of 2005 in W.P.No.27778 of 2005, whereunder the respondents were directed to consider the cases of the petitioners for regularization on par with other 32 persons, whose services are being regularized, if the petitioners are otherwise entitled, as per law. There is no necessity of going into all the details. Learned Standing counsel appearing for the respondents have placed the order dated 05.02.2010 issued by the General Manager of the respondent Company, wherein it is stated that the petitioners are not entitled to claim regularization on par with those persons who were entitled as per law and on the basis of the seniority list prepared and finalized in terms of the settlement with the representative union under the provisions of Industrial Disputes Act. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that it is not the case of the petitioners that they are governed by the purported settlement, but it is their case that, earlier, the respondents have taken a decision to consider the case of the petitioners along with three others, through their letter dated 04.02.1997, and therefore, the case of the petitioners ought to have been considered. The contention of the petitioners cannot be gone into by this Court in a contempt case like this. Since the respondents have considered the case of the petitioners and passed a detailed order, rejecting their case, it cannot be said that the respondents have disobeyed the orders of this Court. Thus, the contempt case is liable to be closed. Accordingly, the contempt case is closed. However, it is always open for the petitioners to file an appropriate writ petition questioning the order dated 05.02.2010, passed by the respondents, or to file an amendment petition in the pending writ petition. _____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 09.02.2009 v v
