SALIM SRI.A.A.ABUL HASSAN THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 18/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Cont. Case (C) No. 990 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 18th August, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner alleges non-compliance of my judgment dated 31-3-2008 in W.P(C) No. 10849/2008. In the said judgment, my direction was as follows: “In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts. P4 and P6 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the representative of the petitioners. The fact that some of the petitioners may retire in the meanwhile, would not stand in the way of their claiming arrears of salary pursuant to the orders of the 2nd respondent, if they are so entitled to. “ It has been brought on record that the Government has passed orders promoting eligible persons as Principals of Higher Secondary Schools. That order has been stayed by this Court in a batch of writ petitions. That being so, I do not think that any further proceedings are necessary in this contempt case. Therefore, without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to seek appropriate reliefs by filing a writ petition, this contempt case is closed. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge.
