JUDGMENT : This Court by Ext.P4 judgment dated 10/06/2019 directed the respondents 4 and 5 to render adequate protection to the petitioner, if there is any harassment against her by the respondents 6 and 7. The said judgment is in force. 2. The petitioner has filed the present writ petition, alleging that the respondents 6 & 7 are continuing to harass her. 3. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in Commissioner, Karnataka Housing Board v. C.Muddaiah [ (2007) 7 SCC 689 ), has held that once a direction is issued by a competent Court, the authority is bound to abide by the direction without any reservation. If an order passed by court of law is not complied with or is ignored, the remedy of the petitioner is to institute contempt of court proceedings and not file a fresh writ petition. In view of the fact that Ext.P4 judgment is still in force, there is no circumstances warranting the filing of a fresh writ petition for the same cause of action. In view of the above observations this writ petition is dismissed, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to seek appropriate remedies under the Contempt of Courts Act, as against the persons who have wilfully disobeyed the directions of this Court in Ext.P4 judgment.
