For Petitioner : Mr.R.Rajamohan For Respondent : Mrs.V.Muthukamatchi 1/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Cont.P.(MD)No.3080 of 2025 ORDER The petitioner has approached this Court that the order of this Court in WP.(MD)No.30910 of 2024 dated 25.04.2025 has not been complied with. The petitioner herein is the second respondent and the contemnor is the fifth respondent in the writ petition in WP.(MD)No.30910 of 2024. 2.The learned counsel for the contemnor/respondent has produced a demand draft for a sum of Rs.3,00,000/- and submits that the contemnor/ respondent is intending to deposit the same before the Labour Court. 3.The learned counsel for the petitioner has pointed out that this Court, while disposing the writ petition in WP.(MD)No.30910 of 2024 has issued a direction to the contemnor/respondent herein to pay the amount directly to the petitioner herein. While so, the stand of the contemnor/respondent in depositing the amount before the Labour Court is not proper. 4.This Court has considered the submissions made on either side and perused the available records. 2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Cont.P.(MD)No.3080 of 2025 5.Since this Court while disposing the writ petition, has issued a direction to the contemnor/respondent to pay the amount only to the petitioner herein, the contemnor in all fairness ought to have get clarification, if needed, before the concerned Court. The contemnor/respondent cannot take a plea in this contempt petition. Considering the manner in which the contemnor/ respondent has driven the petitioner to file this contempt petition to implement the order passed by this Court, this Court directs the contemnor/respondent to pay a sum of Rs.10,000/- to the petitioner as litigation expenses. Accordingly, this contempt petition is closed. 21.11.2025 NCC : Yes/No Index : Yes/No Internet:Yes gns To Thangaraj, The Proprietor of M/s.Karpaga Vinayagar Modern Rice Mill/Management, No.160/4W, Ilanthiraikondan Main Road, Dhalavaipuram Post, Rajapalayam Taluk, Virudhunagar District. 3/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Cont.P.(MD)No.3080 of 2025 B.PUGALENDHI,J gns Cont.P.(MD)No.3080 of 2025 21.11.2025 4/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
