(Order of the Court was made by T.S.SIVAGNANAM,J.) The petitioner has filed this contempt petition alleging willful disobedience of the order issued by this Court in W.P(MD) No.24151 of 2018 dated 19.07.2019.
2. Mr.A.K.Baskarapandian, learned Special Government Pleader accepting notice on behalf of the third respondent submitted that notice was issued on 25.09.2019 directing the petitioner and the fifth respondent in the writ petition namely Mr.R.Poongavanam to appear on 03.10.2019. Though the petitioner appeared, the said Poongavanam did not appear and further action will be initiated.
3. It is to be noted that even in the writ petition filed by the petitioner, though notice was served on the said Poongavanam, who was impleaded as fifth respondent, he did not enter appearance. Therefore, the third respondent should not be waiting for his arrival, but, should take action and implement the direction issued by this Court within the time frame stipulated therein.
4. In the light of the above, one more opportunity is given to the third respondent to scrupulously follow the direction issued by this Court. Failing which, stringent action will be initiated against the third respondent.
5. With the above observation, the contempt petition is closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (CO) // True Copy // Sub Assistant Registrar(CS) To 1.Mr.Sivagnanm, I.A.S., District Collector, Virudhunagar District, Virudhunagar- 626 001.
