CONT P No. 61 of 2026

¶22

I heard Mr.M.Navas Shareef for the petitioner and Mr.M.Suresh Kumar for Mr.Abishek Moorthy for the respondent.

¶23

Mr.M.Suresh Kumar brings to the notice of this Court an order dated 25.04.2025 passed by the Assistant Commissioner, Tiruppur Corporation. In terms of that order, the representation that had been made on 22.02.2025, which was the subject matter of the writ petition, had been disposed of by the Commissionerate. It had been duly communicated to the petitioner on 09.05.2025. This shows that even before the order was passed by this Court on 07.07.2025, the representation was not pending. The counsel, who appeared for the Corporation on that day, had not brought this aspect to the notice of this Court. Perhaps, it was an account of the order having been passed when the writ petition came up for admission.

¶24

Apart from this, in compliance with the orders, the Commissioner had issued summons to the contempt petitioner on 30.01.2026, calling upon him to make his representations with relevant records, for enquiry at 11.00 a.m. on 31.01.2026. On 31.01.2026, the Commissioner has rejected the representation.

¶25

The order dated 25.04.2025, summons dated 30.01.2026, and the order dated 31.01.2026 are scanned and extracted hereunder:-
