Case (C).No.247 of 2011 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 31st August, 2011 JUDGMENT This Contempt Case is filed alleging that contrary to Annexure 1 interim order passed by this Court in W.P.(C) No.24533 of 2008 the petitioners were superseded by respondents 4 to 10 in O.P.No.651 of 2000, which was disposed of by Ext.P1 judgment produced in W.P(C)No.24533 of 2008. It is contended that Ext.P4 seniority list produced in the writ petition has not been finalised and therefore the order passed by the respondent on 2.12.2010 promoting the petitioner's juniors virtually amounts to contempt of this Court. 2. The respondent has filed a statement dated 25.3.2011 to the effect that the gradation list of Junior Health Inspector Grade II, Field Assistant, and Insect Collector for the period from 1.1.1997 to 31.3.2000 was finalised as per office order dated 5.1.2008 and that as per that seniority list, the persons promoted as per Annexure III order are senior to the petitioners. Pursuant to the direction issued by this Court the learned Government Cont. Case (C).No.247 of 2011 -:2:- Pleader has produced a copy of the proceedings dated 5.1.2008. From the said proceedings it is evident that Ext.P4 seniority list produced in W.P(C)No.24533 of 2008 was finalised on 5.1.2008. It cannot therefore be said that by promoting the beneficiaries of Annexure III order the respondent has acted in contempt of this Court. I therefore find no grounds to proceed further with this Contempt Case. It is accordingly closed. P.N.RAVINDRAN, Judge. ahg.
