GOVERNMENT PLEADER SMT.PUSHPALATHA THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- C.O.C.1843/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 11th day of March, 2009 JUDGMENT The affidavit filed by the respondent be incorporated. Since the proposal for grant of terminal benefits to the petitioner has already been forwarded to the Accountant General, I do not think this is a fit case to further proceed with under the Contempt of Courts Act. COC is accordingly closed. But it is open to the petitioner to seek an expeditious consideration of his claim, by the Accountant General and consequential steps by the Department. It is also open to him to take such steps as are necessary, if the consideration of his claim is in any manner delayed or otherwise defective in the office of the Accountant General.
