SRI.K.D.BABU,SC,KOZHIKODE CORPORATION THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, J. -------------------------------- C.O.C.NO.1331 OF 2008-S ---------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of September, 2008. JUDGMENT A detailed affidavit has been filed by the respondent answering the accusations. It is stated that Ext.P3 was taken up with hearing notice to the petitioner and that the petitioner was directed to rectify the defects which were notified. It is further stated that clarification has been sought for from the Kerala Coastal Zone Management Authority and that no clarification has so far been obtained from that authority. According to the affidavit, the issue is now before the Environmental Group Council of the Coastal Zone Department and that a decision is taken by the Council. The same will be intimated to the Corporation, then only the Corporation can finally dispose of Ext.P3. In view of the above stand in the affidavit, I am of the view that it is too early for initiating action for contempt against the respondent. I close the C.O.C giving liberty to the petitioner to approach this Court again, if necessary after a period of three months. The petitioner is also directed to do the needful to see that early decision taken by the Kerala Coastal Zone Management Authority. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,JUDGE. . 2 cl
