DEEPA THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Cont. Case (C) No. 1785 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 29th January, 2009. J U D G M E N T The contempt case is filed alleging non-compliance with Annexure-I interim order passed by me. In that interim order, I directed the 3rd respondent to permit the petitioners in the writ petition to vote in the election to the Community Development Scheme, Udayagiri scheduled to be held on 29-11-2008. In Annexure- I itself, the 1st respondent herein has made an endorsement to the effect that she refuses to accept the order since she has not been served with an order officially and Annexure-I order does not contain the seal. But, I find that Annexure-I order does contain the official seal of this Court . Learned Government Pleader submits that it was a mistake made by the 1st respondent and the election conducted has been cancelled and a re-election was held. In the above circumstances, although I strongly disapprove of the conduct of the 1st respondent, in view of the cancellation of the election, I am not inclined to proceed with the contempt case. Accordingly, the contempt case is closed. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [True copy] P.S to Judge.
