RAMAN & P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JJ. ................................................................................ CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (C) No. 1198 OF 2009 ......................................................................... Dated this the 5th November, 2009 J U D G M E N T P.R. Raman, J: This Contempt case is filed by the petitioner alleging that the interim order dated 15.12.2008 passed by this Court in W.P. (C) NO. 36880 of 2008 has been violated by the respondents 1 to 3. By the aforesaid order, this Court had directed to maintain status quo. It is contended that the party respondents in violation of the said order has chosen to cut open a temporary road with a JCB and the District Collector did not take any action even though he was served with notice. 2. We have already disposed of the Writ Petition today. We notice that the main object of passing the interim order was to prevent any breach of peace in view of the forthcoming festival in Nagathan Kavu. That festival is over. Admittedly, there was no breach of peace and 'Nagathara' is not demolished. Therefore the status quo order to preserve 'Nagathara', in the present CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (C) No. 1198 OF 2009 2 stage, is maintained. We have disposed of the Writ Petition directing the District Collector to consider the matter and take a decision, in accordance with law. In the said circumstances, the Contempt Case is closed. P.R. RAMAN, JUDGE. P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE. lk
