JUDGMENT Sri.P.R.Ramachandra Menon, learned counsel for the respondents, on instructions, submits that the monetary benefits in terms of Annexure I judgment have been disbursed. He submits that the promotion of the petitioner is not merely on the strength of seniority. It is based on other factors also. He submits that the Contempt of Court Case need not be kept pending any more. I am not inclined to keep it pending for more than one reason. Nevertheless, as regards the promotion, the petitioner is at liberty to pursue the matter before the respondents separately and the closure of the Contempt of Court Case may not prejudice him in that pursuit. Subject to the above observation, the Contempt of Court Case is closed. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. To Judge
