Contempt Case came to be admitted on 27-10-2010. Respondents 1 to 3 filed C.A.No.1152 of 2010 to dispense with their appearance. The said application came to be allowed on 29- 11-2010. The first respondent filed counter-affidavit in the contempt case. 3. The interim order passed in W.P.M.P.No.14590 of 2010 reads as follows: “There shall be interim stay of entrustment of the work order, if not already entrusted, in favour of the fourth respondent till 02-06-2010. Learned counsel for the petitioner is permitted to take out notice to the respondents by registered post with acknowledgment due and file proof of service.” 4. First respondent filed counter stating that work has been entrusted to Sri.D. Dastagiri by 08-05-2010 itself. Paragraph Nos.7 and 8 of the counter-affidavit need to be noted and it is thus: “It is not correct to say that the work of contract of sweeping and washing of buses was allotted on a monthly remuneration of Rs.67,950/- to Sri.D. Dastagiri which is less than the minimum wages. Actually the work contract was allotted to D. Dastagiri on a mothly remuneration of Rs.92,197.52 Ps. including 7% commission and Provident Fund. The work contract was allotted by order dated 08- 05-2010 by the office order No.E3/122(45)/09-RM(Q) with a valid period of 10-05-2010 to 09-05-2012. It is submitted that this Hon’ble Court has passed interim direction on 20-05-2010 in W.P.M.P.No.14590/ 2010 in W.P.No.11494/2010 as follows: ‘There shall be interim stay of entrust of the work order, if not already entrust, in favour of the 4th respondent till 02- 06-2010.’ In fact, the work order was issued to Sri.D. Dastagiri on 08-05-2010 itself i.e., prior to the interim order of this Hon’ble Court.” 5. No reply affidavit has been filed by the petitioner controverting the averments made in the counter-affidavit. As on the date of passing of the interim order in W.P.M.P.No.14590/2010, work had already been entrusted to Sri.D. Dastagiri. Therefore, there is no violation of the interim order, dated 20-05-2010 passed in W.P.M.P.No.14590 of 2010 in W.P.No.11494 of 2010. 6. Accordingly, the contempt case is dismissed. Form No.I notice is discharged. _____________________________ B. SESHASAYANA REDDY, J January 24, 2011. PN THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. SESHASAYANA REDDY CONTEMPT CASENo.1041 of 2010 January 24, 2011
