JUDGMENT
Dated this the 2nd day of December, 2025 This Court passed an interim order on 09.05.2023 staying further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P1 recruitment notification for a period of two weeks. Alleging disobedience to the interim order dated 09.05.2023 of this Court, this Contempt of Court Case is filed.
2. Standing Counsel would submit that the order was communicated to respondents-College authorities only on
15.05.2023 and by that time appointments were already made.
3. As the appointments were made prior to the communication of the interim order, I find that there is no willful disobedience to the lawful orders of this Court warranting contempt of court proceedings. Taking note of the fact that the writ petition is pending, I am of the view that the Contempt of Court Case can be closed.
The Contempt of Court Case is therefore closed.
