THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.968 of 2010 ORDER: This Contempt Case is filed on the ground that the respondents have willfully and deliberately violated the directions issued by this Court in the order, dated 08.04.2010, passed in WPMP.No.9936 of 2010 in W.P.No.7724 of 2010. By aforesaid order, this Court directed the respondents to continue the petitioner in service up to the age of 60 years by suspending the proceedings bearing No.S.III(3)/9358/Ret./ Cir./90-91, dated 23.07.2009, issued by respondents 2 and 3. It is the allegation of the petitioner that in violation of the directions issued by this Court, the respondents have discontinued his services with effect from 01.07.2010. When the matter is taken up on 28.09.2010, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for Andhra University produced before this Court a copy of the proceedings bearing No.S.II(2)/968/2010, dated 26.09.2010, issued by the third respondent - Deputy Registrar (Administration), Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, continuing the services of the petitioner subject to final orders in the Writ Petition or any other order on the subject. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that though the proceedings were issued in the interregnum period, the respondents have not paid salaries due to the petitioner. When the matter is called today, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for Andhra University produced before this Court a copy of the proceedings bearing No.S.II(1)/TS/VSK/2010, dated 19.10.2010, issued by the first respondent - Vice-Chancellor, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, who sanctioned regular pay scale to the petitioner and ordered to be paid him salary for the months of July, August and September, 2010. Although there is prima facie violation of the directions issued by this Court in discontinuing the services of the petitioner with effect from 01.07.2010, in view of the proceedings issued by the respondents during pendency of this Contempt Case for continuing the services of the petitioner and also for payment of arrears of salary to him, as referred to above, this Court is of the opinion that it is not a fit case to proceed further against the respondents under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. However, it is made clear that the respondents should be careful in future whenever there are directions from this Court. Any such repeated action will be viewed seriously. Subject to the above observations, the Contempt Case is closed. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 22nd OCTOBER, 2010. kvni
