THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/10/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contempt Case (C) No. 1456 of 2008 (S) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 14th day of October, 2008 J U D G M E N T Annexure A judgment was issued on 29-7-2008 on the premise that the proceedings referred to therein as Exhibit P5 had become final. A reading of Annexure B, which is made the foundation to this Contempt of Court Case, showns that on 25-07-2008 the Director of Public Instructions, in short “DPI”, has addressed a D.O. Letter to the Government and on the basis of that, the Government have cancelled Exhibit P5 decision on the ground that the issuance of Exhibit P5 decision was due to the misrepresentation of facts. Accordingly, the Government has recalled that order and directed the DPI to examine the case in detail afresh and issue orders at the earliest. This, in no manner, leads to any contempt or disobedience or affront to the directions contained in Annexure A judgment. This Contempt of Court Case, therefore, fails and it is accordingly rejected, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner for relief before the DPI following Annexure B. THOTTATHIL B.
