This contempt petition has been filed alleging non-compliance of the order dated March 10, 1993 passed by this Court in C.W.P.No.12165 of 1992 (Annexure P-1). Vide the aforesaid order, this Court, after taking notice of the fact that the petitioner's monetary benefits including medical reimbursement were being withheld or payment thereof was delayed without any justification, directed that all such withheld amounts be released along with the interest at the rate of 12% per annum. In response to the show cause notice, reply/affidavits have been filed by the respondents. Relying upon the averments made in the affidavit of respondent No.2, it is contended by learned State counsel that all the outstanding dues have been paid to the petitioner. Meanwhile, it appears that the State of Haryana also preferred some SLP against the above-mentioned order of this Court, which was C.O.C.P. No.773 of 1994 -2- dismissed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court vide order dated 14.2.1994. In this view of the matter and having regard to the fact that most of the monetary claims of the petitioner have been settled, there appears to be no justification to keep these proceedings pending which are accordingly disposed of, however, with liberty to the petitioner that in case any of the monetary benefits which according to him are due, have not been released so far, he shall submit his claim in regard thereto to the Competent Authority and if such a representation is made by the petitioner, the same shall be objectively considered and if anything is found due, the same shall be paid to him within a period of three months from the date of receipt of such representation.
