SRI.SUBASH SYRIAC FOR R3-5 BY GOVT.PLEADER SRI.T.K.VIPIN DAS THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 11/08/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------ W.P.(C).No.24820 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 11th day of August, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. On behalf of the learned counsel for the petitioner, an adjournment is sought for on the ground that there is bereavement in the family of the counsel. We would have been inclined to grant such adjournment. But, we find that the interim order dated 1/10/2009, which has never been varied by this court (though an unsuccessful endeavour on mediation was attempted), grants to the petitioner the reliefs which can be legitimately aspired for by him. We also notice that civil disputes are pending between the parties. Hence, we are inclined to dispose of this writ petition making the interim order already passed by this court absolute, however clarifying that this judgment will not cause any prejudice to the interest of either party in the on going civil proceedings.
