BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER, SRI.G.GOPAKUMAR THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/09/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------- C.O.(C).No. 993 of 2011 ------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of September, 2011. J U D G M E N T This Contempt of Court Case is filed alleging that the respondents have by appointing Guest Lecturers violated Annexure I interim order passed by this Court in WP(C) No.19453 of 2011. 2. By Annexure I interim order, this Court had only directed that the election of the new Managing Committee in the election held on 12.08.2011 will be provisional and subject to the outcome of the writ petition and that the newly elected managing committee shall not take any major policy decisions or incur capital expenditure and shall only attend to the day today functioning of the society. The society is running a parallel college. If teachers are not appointed, the parallel college cannot be run. I therefore find nothing objectionable in the appointment of Guest Lecturers. That apart, this Court had not restrained the newly elected managing committee from appointing teachers. I accordingly hold that no grounds have been made out to proceed against the respondents under the Contempt of Courts Act 1971. The Contempt of Court Case fails and is accordingly dismissed.
