Case (C) No.1325 of 2011 against WP (C) No. 23510 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 16th day of December, 2011 JUDGMENT This Contempt Case is filed alleging that the respondent herein who is the Additional Labour Commissioner (Industrial Relation), Government of Kerala has willfully disobeyed the direction issued by this Court in Annexure 1 judgment. The petitioner contends that in view of the directions issued by this Court in Annexure 1 judgment, the final seniority list of petty contractors and contract line workers should have been published on or before 30.11.2011 and that having not been done, the respondent is liable to be proceeded against and punished under the Contempt of Court's Act, 1971. 2. When the contempt case came up for hearing today Smt.Maya, learned Government Pleader appearing for the State of Kerala submitted that the Additional Labour Commissioner (Industrial Relations) has by order passed on 30.11.2011 approved a final seniority list of 1001 petty contractors and contract line workers and therefore it cannot be said that the Cont. Case (C) No.1325 of 2011 -2- respondent has disobeyed the direction issued by this Court. A copy of the order dated 30.11.2011 was made available and the same is incorporated in the records. In such circumstances as the respondent has complied with the direction issued by this Court within the time limit stipulated namely on 30.11.2011, I find no reason to entertain this Contempt of Court Case. It is accordingly dismissed. Sd/- P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. Rkc //true copy// PA to Judge.
