BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - C.O.C. No. 499 of 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 14th day of July, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner alleges noncompliance with the directions in Annexure A1 judgment. The judgment is regarding payment of bill amounts due to the petitioner. The respondent is ready to pay the amount. But apparently there is some bad blood between the petitioner and the respondent. The learned Government Pleader submits that, it is not because of any fault on the respondent that the amount due to the petitioner could not be paid. A cheque was prepared and the petitioner was issued with a notice to collect the same. But he filed this contempt case in an attempt to get the cheque through this court is his contention. The learned Government Pleader further submits that this court should not allow the petitioner to convert this court into a post office. These allegations are stoutly denied by the petitioner. I am not inclined to go into C.O.C. No. 499 of 2010 -2- the disputed question of facts, in so far as the respondent is prepared to pay the cheque to the petitioner and the petitioner is prepared to accept the same from the respondent. In the above circumstances, this contempt case is closed with the following directions: The petitioner shall appear before the respondent on 22.07.2010 at 11 a.m. The respondent shall handover that cheque to the petitioner on that day itself.
