Case (C) No.678 of 2008 & I.A.No.417 of 2008 ------------------------------------------ Dated this the 22nd day of July, 2008 JUDGMENT H.L.Dattu, C.J. This matter is posted for framing of charges against the respondent/contemnor. 2. The respondent/contemnor through his learned counsel has filed an application (I.A.No.417 of 2008) to recall the orders passed by us on 9th July, 2008. Along with the said application, he has also produced a copy of the order passed by the State Government dated 18.7.2008. In the said order it is stated that the promotion that was given to Sri.G.Manoj has been withdrawn by the Joint Secretary (Finance) by his order dated 18.7.2008. Further, in the affidavit filed he has offered his unconditional apology in misunderstanding the orders passed by this Court. The unconditional apology appears to be voluntary and with all bona fide intention, and, therefore, the same is accepted. 3. In view of this development, in our opinion, it may not be necessary for us to frame any charges against the respondent. Cont. Case (C)No.678 of 2008 2 Accordingly, the proceedings are dropped. Ordered accordingly. (H.L.DATTU) CHIEF JUSTICE (A.K.BASHEER) JUDGE vns
