The petitioner in O.P.No.12505/03 disposed of on 21st August, 2003, has presented this contempt petition mainly on the ground that the respondents have disobeyed the orders and directions issued by this Court while disposing of the aforesaid original petition. 2. This Court while disposing of O.P.No.12505/03 dated 21st August, 2003, had only stated in paragraph-2 as under: “2. In paragraph 8 of the counter affidavit, it is specifically stated that arrangements will be made to draw and pay the remuneration due to the petitioner treating the kazhakam in Erattukulangara temple as a non-karaima post. This amount shall be paid to the petitioner within one month from today.” (3) After the disposal of the original petition, the respondents have paid certain amounts to the petitioner. If for any reason, the amount so paid by the respondents is less than what is due to the petitioner, he has to question the same before the appropriate forum. In that view of the matter, we cannot say that there is wilful disobedience 2 C.O.C.NO.1561/08 of the order passed by this court. Accordingly, we do not intend to take cognizance of this complaint. Therefore, we close this contempt petition. However, we reserve liberty to the petitioner to approach the appropriate forum with appropriate applications for appropriate reliefs, if he is of the opinion that the amount paid by the respondents is less than what is due to him. Ordered accordingly. (H.L.DATTU) CHIEF JUSTICE (A.K.BASHEER) JUDGE cl/dk.
