JUDGMENT

The above contempt case is preferred alleging non-compliance with the directions in the judgment dated 09.02.2018 in WP(C) No. 6520 of 2017. By the said judgment, this Court directed the 3^rd respondent to pay the amount mentioned in Ext.P8 letter of confirmation, along with applicable interest, to the writ petitioner within a period of eight months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of the judgment. It was further directed that, in the event of failure to comply, the petitioner would be entitled to invoke the jurisdiction of the competent authority to initiate action against the 3rd respondent under the provisions relating to liquidation and appropriation of the society's assets for the purpose of debt repayment.

2. During the pendency of this Contempt Case, the respondent preferred a Writ Appeal against the judgment. On 15.02.2019, while the appeal was pending, the contempt petition was closed with liberty to revive the case, in the event of dismissal of the appeal. Subsequently, by judgment dated 18.08.2018, the Division Bench dismissed the Writ Appeal and confirmed the original judgment dated 09.02.2018. Accordingly, this Contempt Petition has been restored.
