Case (C) Nos.1422 & 1425 of 2006 ------------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of November, 2006 JUDGMENT V.K.Bali,C.J.(Oral) Petitioners in these contempt matters complain wilful disobedience of the respondents in not complying with the directions of this Court in W.A.Nos.545 and 546 of 2004. It is the case of the petitioners that after the judgment aforesaid was rendered a hearing was conducted by the first respondent, but no orders have been passed till date. The direction contained in the order, non-compliance whereof has been complained, reads as follows: “Therefore, we direct the petitioner's school an equal consideration as was the consideration given to the two schools granted by Ext.P5.” 2. Pursuant to the notice issued by this Court Mr.T.B.Hood, learned Government Pleader, appears on behalf of the respondents. He states that the order as directed by this Court shall be passed within two months from today subject to the outcome of the Special Leave Petition filed before the Honourable Con.Case © 1422 & 1425/2006 2 Supreme Court. This Court considered the request made by the Government Pleader for passing orders within two months, but we are of the view that in the facts and circumstances of the case, it will be more desirable that the required order is passed earlier. On persuasion of Court learned Government Pleader states that the order can be passed within one month from today. The statement of the Government Pleader stands recorded and in view thereof these contempt matters are closed. V.K. BALI, CHIEF JUSTICE. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE. vns
