Sri.M.P.Sreekrishnan, learned Government Advocate takes notice for the third respondent. 2. The first petitioner in O.P.No.21971 of 2002 is before us in this contempt petition. He alleges that the respondents have wilfully and deliberately disobeyed the orders and directions issued by this Court while disposing of the original petition on 31st August, 2006. Therefore, request us to initiate appropriate contempt proceedings against the respondents for the so called wilful and deliberate disobedience of the orders and directions issued by this Court. 2. The learned counsels appearing for the respondents informs us that, the respondents being aggrieved by the orders passed by this Court in O.P.No.21971 of 2002 dated 31-8-2006 have preferred SLP No.3525 of 2007 before the Apex Court and the same is pending for COC No.1222/2008 -2- consideration. 3. In view of this development, in our opinion, at this stage, we need not have to take cognizance of this contempt case filed by the petitioner/complainant. Accordingly, we dispose of this contempt case for the present as unnecessary. We reserve liberty to the petitioner/complainant to approach this Court after the disposal of SLP No. 3525/2007 by the Apex Court. Ordered accordingly.
