Common Order

These two contempt petitions have been filed alleging willful disobedience and violation of the order of this court dated 22.07.1996 made in A.No.293 of 1995 in C.S.No.4231/1995 by Appu John, the first defendant in the above suit, shown to be the first contemnor in both the contempt petitions. Mansoor Ali Khan is alleged to have abetted the act of contempt of the above said first contemnor and hence he has been arrayed as the second contemnor. Yet another person by name R.Premanayagam is also alleged to have abetted the act of contempt committed by the first contemnor Appu John. He is sworn as the third contemnor in contempt petition No.757 of 2007 alone.

2. Contempt Petition No.474 of 2007 has been filed by V.K.John, the plaintiff in the above said suit. As the first defendant Appu John and Mansoor Ali Khan alone were made parties respondents/contemnors 1 and 2 in contempt petition Nos.474 of 2007 and yet another alleged contemnor by name Premanayagam was left out, the petitioner in the said contempt petition (plaintiff in the suit) has come forward with sub application No.96 of 2008 to implead the said Premanayagam as the third respondent/third contemnor
