The only grievance raised is against imposition of a cost/ fine of Rs.10,000/- which was awarded because of inordinate delay of about 1 ½ years in making payment to the petitioner of the contempt application. It is not in dispute that the dues were paid in full before the contempt court and it is also admitted that the cost/ fine of Rs.10,000/- has also been paid. In our view, there is no necessity of any interference with the order under appeal. The appeal is dismissed. sk (Shiva Kirti Singh, J) (Shivaji Pandey, J)
