HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.399 of 2009 ORDER: This Contempt Case has been filed by the second petitioner in W.P.No.2682 of 2009 complaining disobedience of the order, dated 12.02.2009, passed by this Court in W.P.M.P.No.3424 of 2009. Notice before admission came to be ordered on 09.04.2009. The respondents entered appearance and filed counter-affidavit. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing for the respondents. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents submits that the order passed by this Court in W.P.M.P.No.3424 of 2009 has been given effect by giving service benefits to the Diploma holders, subject to maximum of four years before acquisition of LEE Diploma qualification. Learned counsel referred to para 6 of the counter-affidavit, which reads as under: - “I submit that while passing the said order, this Hon’ble Court made it clear that the said order will not preclude the authorities from completing the process of appointments as per the observations made in the said order, therefore, the process of appointment was taken up strictly adhering to the order passed by this Hon’ble Court and 8 Sub- Engineers whose names mentioned in the affidavit and who have completed 8 years of service including O&M category were appointed as AAEs.” The respondents have stated in the counter-affidavit that they have strictly followed the interim directions given by this Court and the same have been given effect to. Such is the situation, I find that the petitioner failed to make out any valid ground that the respondents have violated the order, dated 12.02.2009, passed by this Court in W.P.M.P.No.3424 of 2009 in W.P.No.2682 of 2009. In that view of the matter, the Contempt Case is liable to be dismissed and is accordingly dismissed. ________________________________ JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY 09th February 2010 dr
