BUS STAND, ATTINGAL. BY ADV. SRI.M.AJAY THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 31/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ C.O.C. No.1598 OF 2007 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 31st day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner approached this Court with this Contempt Case complaining of non-compliance with Annexure -A1 judgment. In Annexure-A1 judgment I directed the LIC to disburse the policy amounts to the holder of the policy, if there are no other objections. 2. The learned counsel for the respondent submits that for disbursing the amounts, the petitioner has to either produce the original policy or execute an indemnity bond as per rules. 3. The contention of the petitioner is that the policy is with the other respondents 3 to 5 in the writ petition which they have admitted and therefore the petitioner is not bound to execute an indemnity bond. 4. I am of opinion that in so far as LIC is concerned, they have to follow their rules which includes production of their LIC policy or execution of indemnity bond. Therefore their stand cannot be faulted. C.O.C. No.1598/2007 2 Accordingly I do not think that there is any ground for initiating proceedings under the Contempt of Court Act against the respondent in this case. The submission of the respondent that if the petitioner either produces original policy or executes indemnity bond as per rules, the amounts would be paid. This submission is recorded and the contempt case is closed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd C.O.C. No.1598/2007 3
