THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.861 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner filed W.P.No.1734 of 2010 complaining about the withholding of original certificates in connection with his study of M.B.B.S. Course. While issuing notice before admission, an interim order was passed on 24.02.2010 giving certain directions. This contempt case is filed alleging that the respondent had acted contrary to the directions issued by this Court and is demanding amount towards fee. The respondent filed a counter-affidavit. It is stated that the contempt case is not maintainable, since it is filed in relation to an interim order, though the writ petition itself was disposed of on 10.03.2010. It is also stated that the fee is being collected strictly in accordance with the relevant provisions of law and on par with the other candidates. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent. This Court takes serious exception to the conduct of the petitioner in filing the contempt case vis-à-vis an interim order, though he is very much aware of the fact that the writ petition was disposed of on merits. All the interim orders passed in the W.P.M.Ps. merge into the final order and with the disposal of the writ petition, they cease to exist. Hence, the contempt case is closed. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:20.08.2010. kdl
