Rao submits that even after passing of the order of status quo, the respondent is not allowing the petitioner to work in Maharani Hospital, Jagdalpur. Therefore, they are violating the order passed by this Court. The petitioner has filed Annexure C/7 with I.A. No.1/2010 for taking documents on record. Annexure C/7 is a niemo dated 17.11.2009 issued by Joint Director and Superintendent, Maharani Hospital, Jagdalpur. It is stated in this document that the petitioner has already been relieved from the said office for joining on the transferred place. In view of the contents of the aforesaid order dated 9.12.2009 passed by this Court, in which, it was directed that the status quo with regard to posting of the petitioner, as obtained on the said date, shall be maintained till the next date of hearing, no proceedings for contempt can be initiated on the face of the raemo dated 17.11.2009, filed by the petitioner himselfwhich shows that he was already relieved prior to the order dated 9.12.2009. Por the foregoing reasons, I do not find any merits in this petition. The Contempt Case (C) No. 8/2010 is liable to be dismissed and the same is hereby dismissed at the motion stage itself.
