BY GP SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.N.RAVINDRAN, J ....................... W.P.(C).32893/2009 ....................... Dated this the 17th day of November, 2009 JUDGMENT The prayer in this writ petition is to direct the first respondent to take a decision on Ext.P2 application in a time bound manner. Ext.P5 judgment discloses that this Court has already directed the first respondent to consider the stay application and pass orders thereon. If notwithstanding the said direction, the first respondent has not taken any action in the matter, the remedy of the petitioner lies in instituting proceedings under the Contempt of Courts Act and not in filing a fresh writ petition. I accordingly dismiss this writ petition leaving open the petitioner's right to proceed against the first respondent under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. P.N.RAVINDRAN, Judge mrcs
