RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------- Cont. Case (C) No. 632 of 2010 ------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of September, 2011 J U D G M E N T This contempt case is filed alleging that respondent herein has willfully and deliberately violated the direction issued by this Court in Annexure-I judgment in W.P.(C) No.1313 of 2009 which in turn was affirmed by the Division Bench of this Court by Annexure-II judgment in W.A.No.1994 of 2009. 2. It is brought to my notice that after this contempt case was filed, the Government have issued G.O.(Rt) No.2088/2010/LSGD dated 24.6.2010 rejecting the representations submitted by the petitioner. Such being the situation, I am of the opinion that the petitioner should canvass the correctness of the said decision by instituting other appropriate proceedings. As the Government have already passed orders on 24.6.2010, though not within the time stipulated by this Court, I find no reason to proceed further with this contempt case. It is accordingly closed reserving liberty with the petitioner to challenge the Government Order, G.O.(Rt) No.2088/2010/LSGD dated 24.6.2010, in other appropriate proceedings. It will be open to the petitioner to explain the delay in COC.No. 632 of 2010 2 challenging the Government order dated 24.6.2010 on the ground that he was prosecuting this contempt case till today.
