Con.Case(C).No.352 OF 2017(S) IN WP(C). 39234/2016
JUDGMENT
Dated this the 10th day of February 2021
This contempt petition is filed complaining that
directives contained in the judgment in
W.P.(C)No.39234/2016 dated 03.01.2017 is not
complied with.
2. Subject issue relates to the contract work
carried out by the petitioner for and on behalf of
the Kerala Water Authority and the non payment of
the bill amounts. Taking into consideration the
paucity of funds put forth by the Kerala Water
Authority, time period was prescribed for payment
of the amount as per the judgment dated 03.01.2017.
The contempt petition was posted before this Court
on various occasions and on 23.06.2017 the learned
for the petitioner requested and posted the matter
after ten days. Thereafter, eventhough the matter
was posted on 06.07.2017 and 04.08.2017, there was
Con.Case(C).No.352 OF 2017(S) IN WP(C). 39234/2016
no representation. Today also there is no
representation. Learned Standing Counsel for the
Kerala Water Authority submitted that, there is a
likelihood of the amounts being paid, however he
could not get instruction at present, since the
concerned officer is in quarantine.
In that view of the matter, and since the
petitioner is not being represented for the two
occasions, the petitioner is not seen interested in
pursuing with the contempt case.
The contempt case is closed, accordingly.
