K.C.Santhosh Kumar, the learned senior Government Pleader submits that the State of Kerala has filed special leave petitions before the Apex Court canvassing the correctness of the decision of the Division Bench of this Court in Writ Appeal No.2734 of 2007 and connected cases. He submits that as Annexure A judgment was delivered following the decision of the Division Bench of this Court in Writ Appeal No.2734 of 2007 and connected cases, this Court may await the outcome of the special leave petitions filed by the State of Kerala in the Apex Court before proceeding further with this Contempt Case. 2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner does not dispute the fact that the State of Kerala has filed special leave petitions before the Apex Court from the decision of the Division Bench of this Court in Writ Appeal No.2734 of 2007 and connected cases. In such circumstances, I am of the opinion that the petitioner should await the outcome of the special leave petitions filed by the State of Kerala before the Apex Court. I accordingly COC No.1391/09 2 close this Contempt Case reserving liberty with the petitioner to move this Court afresh if occasion arises in the future, after the special leave petitions filed by the State of Kerala from the decision of the Division Bench of this Court in Writ Appeal No.2734 of 2007 and connected cases are disposed of by the Apex Court.
