Petitioners in O.P.Nos.9005 of 2001, 28716 of 2001 and 5290 of 2001 are the complainants in these contempt petitions. In these petitions they request us to initiate appropriate contempt proceedings against the respondents for the so-called wilful and deliberate disobedience of the orders and directions issued by this Court in O.P.Nos.9005 of 2001, 28716 of 2001 and 5290 of 2001 dated 11th January, 2002. 2. Petitioners in the above original petitions, being aggrieved by the orders passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, had approached this Court, inter alia, seeking a writ in the nature of certiorari to set aside the orders passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal. This Court by its order dated 11th January, 2002 has only set aside the orders passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal and while doing so, this Court had not issued any further direction to the respondents. 3. As we have already stated, the petitioners' complaint is that the respondents have disobeyed Annexure A1 order passed by this Court. Since there is no direction as such in that order, it cannot be said that the respondents have either deliberately or wilfully disobeyed the orders and directions issued by this Court. C.C.C.No.843/2002, etc. 2 5. In that view of the matter we cannot take cognizance of these contempt petitions. Accordingly, they are rejected. All pending interlocutory applications also stand rejected. Ordered accordingly. (H.L.DATTU) CHIEF JUSTICE (A.K.BASHEER) JUDGE vns
