IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD WEDNESDAY, THE TWENTY NINETH DAY OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.349 OF 2011 Between: A.N. Kuppaswamy ..... PETITIONER AND Sri I.V. Ramakrishna Rao ....RESPONDENT The Court made the following: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.349 OF 2011 ORDER: Petitioner filed W.P.No.19633 of 2010 complaining that he has not been paid the retirement benefits or pension by the respondent. The Writ Petition is disposed of on 21.09.2010, directing the respondent to pass orders on the representation made by the petitioner pertaining to retirement benefits. This Contempt Case is filed alleging that the respondent has not complied with the directions of this Court. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. It is no doubt true that there was considerable delay on the part of the respondent in complying with the directions issued by this Court. The fact remains that through proceedings, dated 14.03.2011, the respondent has issued a cheque for Rs.2,21,518/- to the petitioner. The covering letter is not properly drafted and it is virtually bereft of any reasons nor does it furnish the particulars of the amounts paid to the petitioner. The petitioner submits that his claim for payment of salary up to 60 years was not considered. Be that as it may, once the amount was paid, it cannot be said that there is any contempt on the part of the respondent. The petitioner can urge all his contentions through separately constituted proceedings. The Contempt Case is, accordingly, closed leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue the remedies as are open to him in law. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________________ L.
