Shri Kamlochan Baghel, Principal, I.T.I.Bastar(CG) CONTEMPT PETITION UNDER ARTICLE 215 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA READ WITH SECTION 12 OF THE CONTEMPT OF COURTS ACT ADDearance: Shri Sunil Otwani, Counsel for the petitioner. Shri Arun Sao, Govt. Advocate for the State/respondents. ORAL ORDER (24.11.2008} SUNIL KUIVIAR SINHA, J. The petitioner was working as Assistant Grade-1 in the Industrial Training Institute, Bastar (CG). He was transferred by order dated 29.6.2007 to Industrial Training Institute, Korba. When he was not relieved for a long period, a writ petition bearing W.P.(S) No. 3988/2008 was filed, which was disposed of by order dated 28.7.2008 and it was directed as under: "The respondents are accordingly directed to make suitable arrangement within a period offourweeks for relieving and allowing the petitioner to join his new place ofposting." CONT.CASE(C)No.244 / 2008 Since the above direction was not complied with within a stipulated period of four weeks, this contempt petition was filed and copy was handed over to Shri Arun Sao, Govt. Advocate on 18.9.2005 to seek further instructions. Shri Sao submits that he has filed a preliminary reply stating many facts including the fact that the petitioner has already been relieved from Bastar on 30.09.2008. He further submits that there is some delay on the part of the respondents to relieve the petitioner in compliance of the Court order which is bonafide because some time has been consumed for relieving the petitioner from a tribal area to non-tribal area. He further submits that the preliminary reply also contains the unconditional apology of the concerned respondent, therefore, condoning the delay part in relieving the petitioner, the proceedings may be dropped. In view of all this, 1 am not inclined to proceed further in the contempt petition. Accordingly, the contempt petition is disposed of at the preliminary stage. _^^ Sd/- SunaKumarSinha Judge
