BY SR. GOVERNMENT PLEADER MR.K.C. SANTHOSH KUMAR. THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 05/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: rs. P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ---------------------------- Con. Case (C) No.1516 of 2009 ---------------------------- Dated 5th January, 2010 JUDGMENT Sri.K.C.Santhosh Kumar, the learned Senior Government Pleader appearing for the respondents submits that the Government have by G.O(Rt)No.20/2010/F&PD dated 4.1.2010 rejected the petitioners' claim for regularisation in service. A copy of the said Government order was also made available to me and the same is incorporated in the records. In view of the said fact, I am of the opinion that as the Government have passed orders though belatedly, no further orders are called for in this contempt case. It is accordingly closed reserving liberty with the petitioners to challenge G.O(Rt)No.20/2010/F&PD dated 4.1.2010 in other appropriate proceedings. The learned Senior Government Pleader is directed to furnish a copy of G.O(Rt)No.20/2010/F&PD dated 4.1.2010 to Sri.S.Ramesh Babu, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners today itself.
