HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN CONTEMPT CASE No.317 OF 2011 ORDER: The order of this Court, violation of which has resulted in the present contempt case being filed, required the respondent- Corporation to examine the petitioner’s claim, both for being paid salary for the period he was kept on put-off duty, and for his services to be treated as continuous, bearing in mind that the petitioner was not at fault and that the mistake had occurred on account of the erroneous intimation by the Deputy Transport Commissioner’s Office at Kakinada, and to pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. Sri K.Satyanarayana Murthy, Learned Standing Counsel for the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation, would submit that, in compliance with the order of this Court, the matter was examined; the petitioner was paid Rs.22,338/- towards “put- off duty”; and his services were regularised as early as in the year 2004. Sri S.M.Subhan, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, would contend that the petitioner is entitled for regularisation from 1998 and not from 2004. This is a matter which is beyond the scope of the contempt case in as much as the only direction given to the respondent- Corporation was to consider the petitioner’s case in accordance law. If the petitioner has any grievance in this regard, it is always open to him to question it in appropriate proceedings. The Contempt Case is, accordingly, closed.
