J U D G M E N T Having heard learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner and Sri.Benny Gervacis, learned Senior Government Pleader, I am not inclined to entertain this petition filed under the Contempt of Courts Act. True, there may be force in the contention raised by the learned Senior counsel that the order passed by the Government, a copy of which is on record as Annexure A8, is far from satisfactory and that it borders on contempt, if a strict view is taken. But nevertheless, I am of the view that the remedy of the petitioner lies elsewhere. It will be open to the petitioner to challenge Annexure A8 order, if so advised, in accordance with law. With that liberty reserved in favour of the petitioner, this Contempt of Court Case is closed. I hasten to add that I have not considered the merit of any of the contentions raised by the petitioner.
