                Dated this the 4th day of September, 2007

                                 JUDGMENT

Additional District Magistrate, Kollam is impleaded suo motu as

additional 4th respondent in the Contempt Case. Registry will carry out

corrections in the cause title.

2. A detailed counter affidavit has been filed by the Electricity

Board to which a reply affidavit has been filed by the petitioner. Learned

Standing Counsel for the Electricity Board submits that pursuant to

Annexure A2 judgment the petitioner pointed out four alternate sites. Of

those four sites, three sits were not technically feasible. But as regards

the 4th site which was technically feasible, objections were raised by

certain persons and thus the matter has been referred to the Additional

District Magistrate, Kollam. Proceeding No.M4-28117/06 is now

pending before the Additional District Magistrate, Kollam and recently

the proceedings stood posted on 10.07.07 from which date it has been

adjourned.

Under these circumstances, I am of the view that it will not be

proper to initiate action for Contempt against the respondents now. I

dispose of the Contempt Case issuing the following directions:

The additional 4th respondent is directed to dispose of the

CCC No. 665 OF 2007
2

proceedings in accordance with law at the earliest and at any rate within

two months of receiving a copy of this judgment.
