THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1170 of 2010 ORDER: This Contempt Case is filed alleging that the respondents have willfully and deliberately violated the directions issued by this Court in order, dated 25.09.2009 passed in WPMP.No.27354 of 2009 in Writ Petition No.21027 of 2009. Petitioners were appointed as casual Conductors in the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC). Earlier, orders were passed decasualizing their services. Subsequently, the petitioners were served with notices to show cause why earlier orders passed by the Regional Manager, West Godavari Region, Eluru pre- poning their date of placement, should not be cancelled. Such notices are questioned in the Writ Petition. On 25.09.2009, this Court passed the following interim order: “If no orders of cancellation are passed pursuant to show cause Notice dated 7.4.2007 issued in Proceedings No.P3/660(05)/2000-RM:WG as on today, Respondents are directed to continue to pay basic Pay and other allowances as reflected in the petitioners’ pay slips of July, 2009 pending further orders.” When the matter is taken up today, learned Standing Counsel for APSRTC appearing for the respondents produced before this Court copies of proceedings, dated 28.04.2007 and 08.05.2007, issued by the Regional Manager, West Godavari Region, Eluru, cancelling the orders of pre-poning the date of placement of the petitioners. As much as the order of this Court is a conditional one, which will operate in the event of not passing the final orders of cancellation, it cannot be said that the respondents have violated the directions of this Court. In that view of the matter, I do not find any merit in this Contempt Case so as to proceed further under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. The Contempt Case is accordingly dismissed. However, it is open to the petitioners to take appropriate steps in the Writ Petition. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 19th AUGUST, 2011. kvni
