THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR
ADMISSION ON 06.07.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE
FOLLOWING:
COC 668/22
2
JUDGMENT
The petitioner alleges that no orders have been issued by
the respondents, even though the time frame in the judgment in
WP(C)No.20242/2020 has expired.
2. However, the learned Government Pleader -
Smt.Parvathy K., submitted that the afore assertions are not
correct and that the respondents have issued an order dated
01.06.2022, in implicit compliance with the directions of this
Court; and that a copy of the same has been produced along
with a memo dated 24.06.2022.
3. Sri.E.N.Vishnu Namboodiri - learned counsel for the
petitioner, however, submitted that the new order issued by the
respondents is also in blatant violation of the directions of this
Court because, he had been ordered to effect transfer of Registry
in favour of his client, if there are no legal impediments. He
argued that, going by the new order, the Authority has merely
cited certain factual reasons why his client cannot be granted the
benefit; and thus prayed that further action under the Contempt COC 668/22
of Courts Act be continued against him.
4. Even when I hear the learned counsel for the
petitioner on the afore lines, I am afraid that I cannot enter into
the merits of the new order dated 01.06.2022 issued by the
respondents because, the question whether the reasons stated
therein are valid or otherwise, cannot be assessed while
exercising jurisdiction under the Contempt of Courts Act. The
petitioner will certainly have to challenge the said order
appropriately.
Resultantly, leaving liberty to the petitioner to challenge
the new order appositely - for which purpose, all his contentions
are left open - I close this Contempt Case without any further
orders.
