THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO CONTEMPT CASE No. 748 of 2010 O R D E R: This Contempt of Court action has been initiated by the petitioner, complaining that the order passed by this Court on 28.07.2009 in Writ Petition No. 11829 of 2009 has been wantonly and purposefully violated by the respondents. While passing the aforesaid order dated 28.07.2009, the Court has taken care to direct the respondents, namely the officials of the APSRTC to continue the writ petitioner in service, but however, he shall not be paid his salary and allowances for the said service. Accordingly, the writ petitioner has been continued in service. Even by the altered date of birth, as solicited by the petitioner in the Writ Petition, he had attained the age of superannuation on 31.05.2010. Therefore, the Corporation has discontinued him from service with effect from the said date. That, according to the learned counsel for the writ petitioner, amounts to willful and wanton violation of the directions issued by this Court. To my mind, there is no such violation as alleged. It goes without saying that when once an interim direction is issued to continue in service any particular employee, he/she is bound to be continued in service only till such time he/she attains the age of superannuation but not beyond that, until and unless the Court specifically directs them to continue them in service even beyond the age of superannuation. That is not the case here. Therefore, I see no reason to entertain this Contempt of Court action and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 12th July 2010 ksld
