BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.BASANT BALAJI THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.PADMANABHAN NAIR,J ==================== Cont. Case (C) No.1735 of 2007 ====================== Dated this the 3rd day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of specific directions issued by this Court to determine the value of property taken possession, respondents willfully disobeyed that order. Now the learned counsel for the petitioner himself has admitted that after filing of this contempt petition respondents have passed an order fixing the land value which is a meagre amount. In this proceedings the court cannot consider whether the land value awarded is reasonable or not. Since the respondents have complied with the order though belatedly I do not find any reason to proceed with this contempt case. In the result the contempt case is closed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to challenge the quantum of compensation fixed by the respondents if the same is permissible in accordance with law. K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, JUDGE dvs
