SRI.K.N.VENUGOPALA PANICKER, SC, TDB FOR R1-2 THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/10/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- Cont.Case (C).1279/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 30th day of October, 2008 JUDGMENT I heard learned counsel on either side and I have perused the counter affidavit filed by the Devaswom Board. I think this is not a fit case to be proceeded with under the Contempt of Courts Act. But if the petitioners have a grievance that their seniority has been overlooked in the matter of filling up of 22% of the vacancies from among the Low paid employees of the Deveswom Board, it is always open to them to point out the deviation to the Court and also to prosecute any other remedies available to them. Subject to the above, writ petition is disposed of. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
