JUDGMENT This Contempt of Court Case is filed alleging non compliance of the directions issued by this Court in Annexure A1 judgment. Today, it is borught to my notice that the Government has already passed an order on 1.3.2011, whereby sanction has been accorded for regularising the service of 12 casual sweepers by creating part time sweeper post in the Housing Board. The names of the petitioners are also included therein. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the respondent submitted that the petitioners have filed the Contempt of Court Case against the respondent without ascertaining the real facts. The respondent is not the Secretary to the Government, but he is the Secretary of the Housing Board only. It is submitted that this fact is well aware of by the petitioners and great inconvenience has been caused to the respondent for unnecessarily arraying him as a party in the Contempt case. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that this was not deliberate and therefore it is prayed that COC 209/2011 2 indulgence may be shown to the petitioners, especially since they are only sweepers. The explanation is accepted. As the directions have been complied with, nothing survives now. Hence, the C.O.C. is closed. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
