RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------ C.O.C.No. 547 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT Annexure - IV in no way contradicts Annexure - III order. Annexure- IV contains a lawful direction to appear before the Excise Circle Inspector to make a statement in relation to matters stated therein. That essentially is in the course of investigation of a crime, in which, the vehicle, which admittedly belongs to the petitioner, was involved. The petitioner has to answer Annexure- IV and the mere issuance of Annexure-V reply notice is no way to escape tendering submissions before the Excise Circle Inspector. No case of contempt is made out. This contempt case is dismissed. THOTTATHIL. B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE Acd
