JUDGMENT
When these writ petitions came up for
consideration on 20.07.2021, this Court
passed the following order;
"This Court as per Ex.P7 judgment, issued the following directions:
"Thereafter, after hearing both nd sides, the 2 respondent SRO will decide the factual issue as to whether the impugned attachment orders concerned in these two cases have been effected after the mortgage in question. If it is found that the attachment orders have been effected after the mortgage in these cases, then the 2nd respondent SRO will take necessary steps to efface those attachments from the relevant records, as otherwise those attachments would remain as a permanent taboo prejudicially affecting the marketability and title to the property, even though they ceased to have legal efficacy, as held by this Court in Madhan's case supra. Necessary opportunity of hearing may also be afforded to the parties concerned which WP(C) Nos.24982 & 24988 of 2019
may be effected within 10 days after the receipt of the applications from the petitioner. Appropriate orders as aforestated should be passed by the 2nd respondent SRO within 2 weeks from the date of conclusion of the said hearing. Further, it is also made clear that it will also open to the petitioner to file such separate applications before the competent revenue official concerned. If he has any grievances in that matter, which may also be considered by such competent authority, after hearing the necessary parties and in the light of the above said dictum laid down by this Court in Madhan's case supra reported in 2014(1)KLT 406.
With these observations and directions, the above Writ Petition(Civil) will stand finally disposed of."
2. Now Ext.P9 order is passed, in which it is stated that the mortgage executed by the parties are not proper. If the authority who passed Ext.P9 order is aggrieved by the directions in Ext.P7 judgment, his remedy is to file a review or appeal. He cannot pass an order like Ext.P9. According to me, this is prima facie contempt and a case of flouting the directions of this Court. The 2nd respondent will file an affidavit explaining the same.
In the meanwhile, other respondents will also file a counter affidavit, if any."
2. Today, when the matter came up for
consideration, the learned Government Pleader WP(C) Nos.24982 & 24988 of 2019
submitted that the attachment is already
effaced from the registers of the Sub-
Registry, Mattancheri. The same is recorded.
The respondents are free to take any other
steps, if any, in accordance to law.
Therefore, this writ petition is closed.
