K.B.RAMANAD THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 24/05/2010 ALONG WITH COC.NO.493 OF 2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Con.Case(C).Nos.492 & 493 of 2010-S = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 24th day of May, 2010. Judgment These contempt of court cases are filed alleging that the directions contained in the judgments have not been complied. The matter relates to fixation of compensation for lands on account of acquisition for the purpose of a National Highway. Detailed affidavits have been placed in both these cases elaborately stating the voluminous procedure adopted and the fact that ultimately action has been taken in obedience of the judgments. Learned counsel for the petitioners is justified to some extent in saying that there is no application seeking enlargement of the time fixed in the judgments. Technically, therefore, it may be a case that there is delay in complying with the judgments. However, I am not inclined to take the view that the said situation warrants interference under the COC.492 & 493/10 -: 2 :- Contempt of Courts Act. These cases are hence closed.
