J U D G M E N T When the matter comes up for hearing, the learned counsel appearing for the respondents submits that the petitioner was promoted as Assistant Secretary, which is the feeder category to the post of General Manager. It is submitted that the present General Manager retired on 30.11.2007, and at present, the petitioner is working as the General Manager in charge. It is submitted that the petitioner has filed ARC.No.118/2007 before the Co-operative Arbitration Tribunal, and in that case the Tribunal has passed an interim order staying the direct recruitment to the post of General Manager. Hence, I do not find any reason to proceed with this contempt case. Therefore, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner in obtaining proper relief before the appropriate proceedings, this contempt case is closed. K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, JUDGE nj.
