The complainants' main grievance before this Court is that the respondent has disobeyed the orders and directions issued by this Court while disposing of W.P.(C).No.28219 of 2005 by its order dated 18.07.2007. 2. The question before the learned Single Judge and a Division Bench of this Court in more or less similar matters is, whether the employees of the Kerala Forest Development Corporation will have to be superannuated at the age of 58 years or at the age of 55 years. 3. In view of the pendency of the similar issues before a Full Bench of this Court, at this stage it may not be proper for us to initiate any contempt proceedings against the respondent. Therefore, while dropping the contempt proceedings against the respondent, we reserve liberty to the petitioners to approach this Court after the disposal of the matters by the Full Bench, if need arises. Ordered accordingly. H.L.Dattu Chief Justice K.M.Joseph Judge vku/-
