JUDGMENT
Dated this the 6th day of January 2021 This Contempt Case has been filed alleging that the judgment of this Court dated 10.12.2019 has not been complied with by the respondent.
2. However, Sri.Raju Sebastian Vadakkekara, the learned standing counsel for the respondent submitted that the second respondent in the writ petition has filed W.P.(C) No.26183/20 and has obtained an order of "status quo" against the demolition of the structures in question. He submitted that, therefore, his client is now incapacitated from complying with the directions in the judgment of this Court in W.P.(C) No.10209/2018.
3. Smt.Bindu Sreekumar, the learned counsel for the petitioner affirms that the second respondent in the writ petition has filed the afore writ petition and has obtained an order of "status quo".
4. In the afore circumstances, since another Bench of this Court has already granted an order of "status quo" to the second respondent in W.P.(C) No.26183/20, it is obvious that no further proceedings in this contempt case can now go on. Con.Case(C).No.1762 OF 2020 3 I, therefore, close this case; however, leaving liberty to approach this Court again, depending upon the fate of W.P.(C) No.26183/20.
