THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Contempt Case No.1835 of 2009 Date:20.12.2010 Between: Smt.M.Laxmi Bai ..... Petitioner AND Shri A.N.Bhattacharjee and another .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri Srinivas Emani Counsel for Respondent: Sri Srikanth Kaveti For Sri Deepak Bhatacharjee The Court made the following: ORDER: This contempt case is filed alleging wilful disobedience of order, dated 23.04.2009, in W.P.M.P.No.11069 of 2009 in W.P.No.8454 of 2009. By the said order, this Court has suspended order, dated 19.03.2009, of respondent No.1, whereby the petitioner’s increments numbering 05, were withheld as a substantive punishment. Alleging that despite the order of interim suspension, the respondents have not paid the increments, the present contempt case is filed. A counter affidavit has been filed by Sri A.N.Bhattacharjee, Commissioner, Coal Mines Provident Fund Organisation at Dhanbad, wherein it is inter alia stated that in view of subsequent event of the respondents volunteering to initiate fresh enquiry, in which, the petitioner has not been participating and cooperating, she was not paid increments. However, it has now come out at the hearing that subsequent to filing of this counter affidavit, the respondents have complied with the order of this Court by paying increments to the petitioner in October, 2010. Assuming that the respondents have failed to comply with the interim order of this Court for nearly 1½ year, in view of payment of increments to the petitioner, the respondents have purged the contempt, if any. As such, I am not inclined to proceed against them further in the contempt case. Accordingly, the contempt case is closed. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dt.20.12.2010 VGB
