THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.N. RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------- Cont. Case (C) No.400 of 2009 ------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of November, 2010 J U D G M E N T This Contempt case is filed alleging that Annexures IX and X orders passed by this Court have been violated by not reinstating the petitioner in the office of the Assistant Engineer, P.W.D. Road Section-3, Trivandrum. It is evident from the statements in Annexure- XIV that though Annexures IX and X orders were issued on 9.12.2008 and 17.12.2008 respectively, the petitioner joined duty at Palakkad without protest and did not produce the copies of the said orders before the respondents till 13.1.2009. Therefore, it cannot be said that the respondents have acted in willful disobedience of the directions issued by this Court. Further, it is also now conceded at the Bar that the petitioner has been continuing at Palakkad for the past more than 2 years. In such circumstances, I find no grounds to entertain this contempt case. It is accordingly closed. P.N. RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. nj.
