This Contempt of Court Case has been filed alleging non-compliance of the directions given by this Court in the order dated 21.06.2010 in I.A. No.1747 of 2010 in A.S. No.298 of 2002. 2. As per the above order, this Court enabled the 4th respondent therein to cut and remove trees which were planted by him, simultaneously directing the Devaswom Board to ear-mark the trees, to facilitate such cutting and removal. The grievance projected by the petitioner is that in spite of the direction as above, nothing positive has turned out from the part of the Devaswom Board, which amounts to Contempt of Court. 3. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Board submits with reference to the affidavit filed by the respondent that, pursuant to the direction, appropriate steps COC No. 1159 of 2010 -:2:- have been taken and the order has been given effect to. The factual position as on date is not disputed by the petitioner. In the above circumstances, this Court finds that no further steps are to be pursued in the contempt matter. Accordingly the Contempt of Court Case is closed. J.Chelameswar, Chief Justice. P.R. Ramachandra Menon, Judge. ttb
