HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN CONTEMPT CASE No.1468 of 2010 ORDER: Sri Aka Venkataramana, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, would submit that, subsequent to the filing of the Contempt Case, the respondent-Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam has passed an order dated 11.10.2010 rejecting the petitioner’s claim for prorata pension. Learned Counsel would submit that even this order is patently illegal. The question, whether the subsequent order is valid or illegal, can only be adjudicated in appropriate writ proceedings, and the Contempt jurisdiction of this Court cannot be expanded to go into the merits of the subsequent order passed on 11.10.2010. The only question which necessitates examination in Contempt proceedings is whether the order of this Court has been violated and, if so, whether such violation is wilful and deliberate. As the order of this Court has since been complied with, I see no reason to proceed further and take action against the respondents under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. The Contempt Case is, accordingly, dismissed. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Dt:12.11.2010 usd
