BY ADV.SRI.DEEPU THANKAN, STANDING COUNSEL
THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR
ADMISSION ON 07.04.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE
FOLLOWING:
Con. Case(C.) No.535 of 2022
JUDGMENT
Dated this the 07th day of April, 2022
When the matter was taken up, the learned
Standing Counsel for the K.S.R.T.C. placed before me
an order dated 06.04.2022 of the Executive Director,
Administration disposing of Ext.P1 to Ext.P15. The
reason stated therein is that regarding the services of
the petitioners, they have filed W.P.(C.)
No.16405/2018 and connected cases, claiming more
than 10 years of service with 120 days duty. In the
above writ petition, the Court directed to stay the
operation of orders canceling their regularisation so
as to enable them to continue in service at their
respective stations provisionally, subject to further
orders passed in those writ petitions. Since judgment
is awaited in that case, orders could not be passed on
Ext.P1 to Ext.P15, consequently it was disposed of.
In the light of the above proceedings, I am
inclined to close the Contempt Case reserving the
Con. Case(C.) No.535 of 2022
right of the petitioners herein to move at the
appropriate stage later.
