KURIAKOSE, J. ---------------------------------- C.O.C. NO. 894 of 2008 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of July , 2008 JUDGMENT It is submitted on behalf of the Standing Counsel for the Corporation that substantial portion of the amounts legally due to the petitioner have already been paid off. Dr.K.P.Satheesan, the learned counsel for the petitioner points out that the security deposit amount as well as incidental charges have not been paid so far. On behalf of the Standing Counsel it is submitted that there will not be any difficulty for releasing the security deposit. But, the Corporation should not be made liable for paying the incidental charges. 2. Having regard to the submissions addressed at the bar, I am inclined to dispose of this Contempt of Court Case without initiating action, but directing the respondent to release the amount due to the petitioner towards the security deposit within one month of receiving a copy of this judgment. It is ordered accordingly. 3. As for the other claims of the petitioner, this judgment will not foreclose the petitioner's other remedies. This Contempt of Court Case is disposed of as above. PIUS C.
