Case(C) No. 690 of 2011 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 3rd day of August, 2011. J U D G M E N T By Annexure A1 judgment, I directed the respondents to finalise the provisional seniority list within 4 months. The petitioner has filed this contempt case alleging that the direction has not been complied with. The respondent has filed an affidavit producing the finalised seniority list, taking the stand that it was finalised even before the pronouncement of the judgment. The petitioner contends that it was after the learned Government Pleader getting instructions and submitting that 6 months' time would be required to finalise the seniority list, the judgment has been passed and therefore the respondent cannot now contend that the seniority list had been published earlier. When an affidavit is filed by the respondent to the effect that the submission made was a mistake and copy of the finalised seniority list has also been produced, I am not inclined to take further action in the contempt case. Accordingly, the contempt case is closed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to challenge the seniority list appropriately. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
