BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER, SRI.A.J.VARGHESE THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ======================= Cont. Case No. 271 of 2008 ======================= Dated this the 24th day of March, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner complains of non-compliance with the directions in Annexure A judgment. In Annexure A judgment, I directed the Taluk Surveyor to consider Ext.P2 and take appropriate action thereon as warranted by law, as expeditiously as possible at any rate within two months. A counter affidavit has been filed wherein it is stated thus: "The Taluk Surveyor cannot prepare a sketch stating that the puramboke land also involved in the Purchase Certificate. On examination of the village records, it has come to the notice that the petitioner remitted Rs.2.60ps. as prohibited assessment tax for old Sy. No.93/2 for an extent of 13 cents as per receipt No.65/69 on 21-2-1972. That remittance of prohibited assessment tax does not confer any right to the petitioner. If the petitioner wanted to correct the purchase certificate, the petitioner can approach the appropriate authority. The Taluk Surveyor is not a competent person to do anything in that respect." In view of the above statement, the petitioner submits the contempt case may be closed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to work out his remedies in accordance with law. Cont. Case No. 271/2008 -2- Accordingly, the contempt case is closed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to work out his remedies in accordance with law. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE jp
