BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/12/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V.GIRI, J. ========================= COC NO.1722 OF 2007 ========================= Dated this the 6th day of December 2007 JUDGMENT In Annexure-A1 judgment, this Court directed the second respondent, namely, the Director of Ground Water Department to take a decision on Ext.P4 within a time frame. It was also observed that if there is no ineligibility, insofar as the petitioner is concerned, his claim for provisional promotion shall be considered, taking note of the allegation that his juniors have been promoted. Annexure-A6 order has been passed pursuant to the directions issued in the said judgment. I have gone through Annexure-A6. In my view, the issue directed to be considered has been considered and a decision has been taken. If the petitioner is aggrieved by the decision, his remedy lies elsewhere. Contempt of Court case is dismissed without prejudice to the petitioner's right to pursue other appropriate remedies in relation to Annexure-A6, if so advised. V.GIRI, JUDGE css/
