PETITIONER AND Sri Pradeep Kumar, Secretary, Ministry of Defence, The Union of India, Government of India, New Delhi and others .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: Counsel for the Respondents: The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI CONTEMPT CASE NO. 1662 OF 2009 ORDER : This contempt case is filed alleging violation of the order of this Court dated 20.08.2009 in W.P.No.17041 of 2009 which was disposed of with the following directions: “In the circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 06.07.2009 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.” Pursuant thereto, the respondents passed an order dated 07.09.2009 rejecting the request of the petitioner for premature retirement for the reasons stated therein. According to the petitioner the said action of the respondents amounts to Contempt of Court, since the order dated 07.09.2009 is not in accordance with law as directed by this Court. The law is well settled that once an order is passed in compliance with the order of the Court, a different cause of action arises and if aggrieved, it is for the aggrieved party to challenge the same by working out the appropriate remedy available under law. Hence, it is not a fit case to take the cognizance under the provisions of the Contempt of Courts Act. Accordingly, the Contempt Case is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to work out the appropriate remedy as available under law for redressal of his grievance. _____________ G. ROHINI, J.
