Shri Samudra, the learned counsel, appearing for respondent nos. 1 and 2. Shri Samudra has brought to my notice the order dated 8.11.2010 passed by the Apex Court in Special Leave to Appeal No. (s) 17354/2010, which is reproduced below; “We have heard the learned counsel for the parties. In the facts and circumstances of this case, we deem it appropriate to direct the Bank of Baroda (Petitioner herein) to pay the balance amount of Rs.12 Lakhs in full and final settlement of the entire claim of the Respondent, within six weeks from today. This amount would be over and above the amount which has already been paid to the Respondent. In case the aforesaid amount is paid within six weeks, the contempt proceedings against the Bank shall stand quashed. This Special Leave Petition is disposed of accordingly.” Shri Samudra,the learned counsel appearing for respondent nos. 1 and 2 states that the petitioner was called upon to collect the pay order of Rs. 12 lakhs in terms of the aforesaid order passed by the Apex Court. Although the petitioner turned up, he refused to acknowledge the receipt of it. Hence, it was not tendered. The petitioner who is present personally before this Court now accepts the pay order of Rs.12 lakhs and further submits that his claim has been fully and finally settled. In view of this, and the order passed by the Apex Court, the proceedings of contempt are dropped. JUDGE Rvjalit
