In the light of the orders of the Chairman payments were released to the petitioner under cheque dated 28.09.2011 which has been delivered to the petitioner on 30.9.2011. It would appear from the narration of facts above that the petitioner himself delayed submission of representation by two months whereafter the office of the Chairman took about nine months to process and put up the matter before the Chairman who passed orders on 2 16.6.2011. Even after disposal of the matter by the Chairman the office again took another three months to issue the cheque. 2. Aforesaid narration of facts clearly indicate that there is lack of diligence on the part of the petitioner as also the authorities to ensure compliance of the order of the High Court. 3. With the observation aforesaid the contempt petition is disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
