BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SHRI BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- Contempt Cast (Civil).325/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 28th day of February, 2008 JUDGMENT Counsel for the petitioner vehemently submits that the Government has not understood the directions contained in Annexure-III judgment and thus Annexure-IV order has been passed. I have gone through Annexure-III judgment as also Annexure-IV order. There is substance in the contention of the petitioner that in passing Annexure-IV order, respondent may not have comprehended the directions issued in Annexure-III judgment, fully and correctly. But in my view, that could be a ground for judicial review and not for an action under the Contempt of Courts Act. In the result, Contempt of Court Case is closed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to take appropriate action in relation to Annexure-IV order. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
