Case (C)No.689 of 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated 16th July, 2010 JUDGMENT This contempt case has been filed alleging non-compliance with the interim order dated 9.4.2010 in W.P.(C)No.12826 of 2010. As per the said interim order it was ordered to permit the petitioner to continue as Village Officer in Kalluvathukal for two months. In the meanwhile, the petitioner was promoted to the post of Revenue Inspector. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the interim order he was not permitted to join duty at Kalluvathukal and then to get relieved for the purpose of joining in the promoted post. After denying him to join duty based on Annexure 1 order, he has now been served with a notice to show cause why action should not be initiated against him for the misconduct of not joining duty in the promoted post. 2. When this matter is taken up today, the learned Government Pleader made available a copy of order passed by the first respondent dated 13.7.2010. It would reveal that the grievances of the petitioner with respect to non-compliance with Annexure 1 order and also other grievances have been substantially redressed and the respondents have virtually complied with the interim order dated COC.No.689/2010 2 9.4.2010 in W.P.(C)No.12826 of 2010. In the light of the said order dated 13.7.2010 there would not be any further impediment for the petitioner to join duty at Kalluvathukkal and then, to get relieved for the purpose of joining duty in the light of the order of promotion, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader. In the said circumstances, taking note of the order dated 13.7.2010, this contempt case is closed. C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS
