SRI.M.P.ASOK KUMAR, SC FOR MUNICIPALITY. THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ Contempt Case (Civil) NO. 639 OF 2010 (S) =========================== Dated this the 25th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner had executed certain works awarded by the Chalakkudy Municipality. As full amount was not paid, he represented, and thereafter the writ petition was filed. The case was disposed of by judgment dated 11th of February, 2010 directing consideration of his claim. This contempt petition is filed alleging disobedience with the directions of this court. 2. From Annexure A4 and the submissions made by the counsel appearing for the Municipality, it would appear that there is a dispute about the work executed by the petitioner. It is stated that an enquiry into the matter is pending and that balance payment can be released only on conclusion of the same. 3. Although the bonafides of the submission made by the counsel for the Municipality is seriously disputed by the counsel appearing for the petitioner, having regard to the nature of the dispute, I do not think that there is wilful disobedience of the judgment warranting initiation of proceedings under Contempt of Courts Act. COC No.639/10 :2 : Therefore, leaving it open to the petitioner to work out his remedies, this contempt petition is closed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
