Alleging that the respondent has not complied with the undertaking given by him in Cont.Case (C).No.525 of 2007 dated 21.06.2007, the complainant is before us once again in this contempt proceedings. (2) Along with the contempt petition, the complainant, very fairly, has produced the orders passed by the State Government dated 05.09.2007. By the impugned order, the State Government has considered the request of the complainant and has passed an order. (3) In our view, the only direction that was issued by this Court while disposing of the contempt petition was to consider the request of the petitioner on top priority basis as early as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of that order. (4) Pursuant to the direction so issued by this Court, the respondent has passed orders dated 05.09.2007. If for any reason the petitioner is aggrieved by the same, he has necessarily to question the same before the appropriate forum. In that view of the matter, we do not intend to take cognizance of this contempt petition. Accordingly, the contempt petition requires to be rejected and it is rejected. Cont.Case (C)No.1461/2007-S - 2 - (5) However, liberty is reserved to the complainant, if he so desires, to question the correctness or otherwise of the orders passed by the Government dated 05.09.2007 before the appropriate forum. Ordered accordingly. H.L.Dattu Chief Justice K.M.Joseph Judge vku/-
