1 S.B. CIVIL CONTEMPT PETITION NO. 229/2006. (VIKRAM SINGH VS. C.K. METHUE & ORS.) DATE OF ORDER : 26.03.2007. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. P.S. Chundawat for the petitioner/s. Mr. S.K. Vyas, GA, for the respondent/s. By an order dated 27.07.2006, an interim direction was given to the respondents not to discontinue the petitioner from service in pursuant to the notice to show cause dated 29.03.2003. According to the petitioner, the respondents despite the interim order referred above, discontinued the petitioner from service, hence this contempt petition is preferred. In reply, it is stated by the respondents that as a matter of fact, an order discontinuing the petitioner from service was passed on 22.07.2006 i.e. quite prior to the interim order passed by this Court on 27.07.2006. It is further stated that the order dated 22.07.2006 was sent to the petitioner by registered post as well as by hand, however, due to non- availability of the petitioner, the same could not be served. This Court by the order dated 13.02.2007 directed the respondents to keep available the dispatch register whereby the order dated 22.07.2006 was sent to the petitioner. The 2 same is shown to the Court today. From perusal of the dispatch register, it is apparent that a copy of the order dated 22.07.2006 was sent to the petitioner by hand on 24.07.2006 and by registered post on 25.07.2006 and the same was returned with a note that the petitioner does not reside at the address given. In view of the totality of the case of the case, I do not find any act on part of the respondents that may be treated as deliberate and willful non-compliance of the directions given by this Court. Accordingly, the contempt petition is dismissed, rule issued is discharged. (GOVIND MATHUR)J. Anil/
