THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU CONTEMPT CASE NO.179 OF 2009 Between: V.V.Ramana Son of Seetharama Murthy ...Petitioner Vs. Pankaj Dwivedi and others ..Respondents. THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU CONTEMPT CASE NO.179 OF 2009 ORAL ORDER This contempt case is filed complaining wilful disobedience on the part of the respondents in implementing the order of this Court dated 29.09.2008 in WPMP No.27905 of 2008 in W.P.No.21356 of 2008 whereby and whereunder the respondents were directed to consider for releasing the retiral benefits payable to the petitioner as per the Service Regulations including the gratuity, provident fund and leave salary payable from August 2007 to April 2008 by considering the representations dated 29-04-2008 and 28-06-2008. There is no necessity of going into all the details. The respondents have filed a detailed counter-affidavit stating that in respect of gratuity and provident fund, the entire amount due was paid and in respect of leave salary an amount of Rs.19,350/- was appropriated towards the loan obtained by the petitioner from Visakha Cooperative Society Limited and further an amount of Rs.29,749/- is yet to be adjusted against the balance due to the Visakha Cooperative Society Limited and insofar as the regular salary is concerned, since the departmental proceedings are pending, the same could not be paid. Thus it appears that the respondents have substantially compiled with the orders of this Court and this is not a case where it can be said that the respondents are violated the orders of this Court wilfully or deliberately. The Contempt Case is devoid of merits and liable to be dismissed. Accordingly the Contempt Case is dismissed. _____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 25th MARCH 2010 *TSNR
