This application is filed for necessary action against respondent for non-compliance of the order passed by this Court (Coram: K.G. Shah, J.) on 5.9.1991. The relevant portion of the order reads as under: "......The petitioner shall be reinstated in service within four weeks from the receipt of the Writ and he shall be paid arrears of salary and all other monetary benefits within eight weeks thereafter..." It is true that the said order is not complied with, except reinstatement, within the time stipulated. Reinstatement was made within the time stipulated. Thereafter the amount due has been calculated and paid. However, there is a delay in payment. The same has been regretted in para 5 of the affidavit in reply. In our opinion the reason assigned for delay is justifiable and we accept the same. As the order is complied with, contempt stands purged. Hence, the proceeding deserves to be dropped as we acceept the apology tendered by respondent. In the result, the petition fails and is hereby dismissed. Rule discharged. No costs.
