Shri Talware(Chief Engineer) Mah.State.Electricity Distribution Company Ltd.,Nagpur. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's Orders or directions Court's or Judges Order. or Registrar's orders. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shri Shashikant Borkar, Advocate for petitioner. Shri R.E.Moharir, Advocate for respondent-sole. CORAM: K.U.CHANDIWAL, J. DATED: 23rd June, 2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The Division Bench of this Court had passed the following order on March 28, 2001 :- “Notice before admission returnable six weeks. Respondents are restrained from making any deductions from the salary received by the petitioner in terms of office order of March 1, 2001.” The petitioner feels that this order has disobeyed, as the employer has made deductions from the salary which was prevented. The learned counsel representing respondent- employer informs that the deductions were made, and the amounts are received by the petitioner, under the valid receipt. If 2 the petitioner had any grievance that the deductions were in breach of order dated 28/3/2001, he should have initiated action in terms of Contempt of Court Act within a period of one year as mandate in Section 20 thereof. However, the action in the present petition, is dated 23/09/2009. I quite see that the actions of alleged contempt of the order dated 28/03/2001 has not initiated within stipulated period of one year from the breach of the order. The reference to the communication dated 4/4/2009 is insignificant, as it was in response to the application dated 16/3/2009 made by the petitioner. In the above facts and circumstances, the contempt petition, for the present, is disposed of. The parties are free to agitate controversy in the ongoing petition. (K.U.Chandiwal) JUDGE Andurkar
