BY ADV.SMT.AYSHA YOUSEFF THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ======================= Con. Case (C) No. 168 of 2008 ======================= Dated this the 30th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner seeks initiation of contempt proceedings for non-compliance with the directions in my judgment in W.P.(C) No.18026 of 2003. That was a writ petition filed by the management in an ID against the award passed by the Industrial Tribunal in that ID. By the judgment, I modified the award and directed the society to reinstate the workman with 50% backwages. I do not think that I should initiate proceedings for contempt for non-compliance for the said directions in so far as petitioner's remedy lies in getting the award enforced through the procedure prescribed under the Industrial Disputes Act. Therefore, I am not inclined to entertain this contempt case. Accordingly, the same is closed. Sd/- S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE jp
