RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------- Cont. Case (C) No.206 of 2011 ------------------------------- Dated this the 16th day of February, 2011 J U D G M E N T This contempt case is filed alleging that the directions issued by this Court in Annexure-A judgment have not been complied with. When the contempt case came up for admission-hearing today, the learned Government Pleader submitted that the Government have issued G.O.(Rt) No.433/2011/LSGD dated 9.2.2011 regularising the petitioner in service as Part-time Sweeper in Neezhoor Grama Panchayat with effect from 9.2.2010. A copy of the said Government order was made available to me and it is incorporated in the records. In the light of the said development, the petitioner cannot have any subsisting grievance. The learned counsel for the petitioner however submitted that the petitioner was entitled to be regularised in service with effect from the earlier date and not with effect from 9.2.2010, and that in such circumstances, reserving liberty with the petitioner to challenge the Government Order dated 9.2.2011 in other appropriate proceedings, this Contempt case may be closed. 2. In the light of the submissions made at the Bar and having regard to the fact that though belatedly the Government have passed orders regularising the petitioner in service, no further orders Contempt Case No.206 of 2011 2 are called for in this contempt case. It is accordingly closed, reserving liberty with the petitioner to challenge the Government Order in other appropriate proceedings. The learned Government Pleader shall serve a copy of the Government order dated 9.2.2011 on Sri.M.G.Karthikeyan, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner within two days from today. P.N. RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. nj.
