Ramesh Babu Designated Officer, Tamil Nadu Food safety and Drug Administration Department, Food Safety Wing, Race course Road, Tiruchirapalli.

.. Respondent Prayer: Contempt Petition filed under Section 11 of the Contempt of Courts Act, for the wilful disobedience of the order, dated 15.04.2025 passed in W.M.P(MD)No.7520 of 2025 in W.P(MD)No.10106 of 2025 by this Court.

ORDER

This contempt case has been filed complaining willful disobedience of the order dated 15.04.2025 passed in W.M.P(MD)No. 7520 of 2025 in W.P(MD)No.10106 of 2025.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioner fairly submits that after the listing of the contempt petition, the order of this Court, dated 15.04.2025 has been complied with by the respondents. The learned counsel for the petitioner would however submit that there is a delay of 8 days and hence, the Court should admonish the respondent for the delay and impose cost.

3. However, considering the fact that the order has been complied with, though belatedly, I am inclined to close this contempt petition recording the statement of the learned Additional Government Pleader. Accordingly, this Contempt Petition stands closed. However, it is made clear that in future, at least the authorities should be vigilant when it comes to complying with the orders of this Court. 09.05.2025 NCC : Yes/No Index : Yes/No Internet : Yes gbg
