THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.336 of 2011 ORDER: This Contempt Case is filed alleging that the respondents have violated the directions issued by this Court in order, dated 17.03.2010 passed in WVMP.No.1723 of 2008 in WPMP.No.3278 of 2008 in Writ Petition No.2551 of 2008. Petitioner retired as Junior Mining Officer, Singareni Collieries Company Limited, 2nd Incline, Bellampalli Area, Adilabad District. There is a dispute with regard to date of birth of the petitioner. The petitioner claims that his correct date of birth is 10.06.1952 but in the service record, it was recorded as 10.06.1948. This Court in the aforesaid order, issued directions to the respondents to settle the claim of the petitioner with regard to retiral benefits by taking his date of birth as 10.06.1948 without reference to pendency of the proceedings before it. In this Contempt Case, it is the grievance of the petitioner that in spite of such a direction, the respondents have not settled his claim. When the matter is taken up today, it is submitted by the learned Standing Counsel for Singareni Collieries Company Limited appearing for the respondents that entire retiral benefits were paid to the petitioner and to that effect, he produced before this Court a set of papers, which includes copies of acknowledgments issued by the petitioner on 04.07.2011 in token of receiving all the benefits from the Company. Though there was some delay in complying the directions issued by this Court, in view of the explanation offered by the learned Standing Counsel for Singareni Collieries Company Limited and as the entire retiral benefits were already paid to the petitioner, who acknowledged the same, I do not find any ground to proceed further under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. The Contempt Case is accordingly closed. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 11th JULY, 2011. kvni
