THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Contempt Case No.896 of 2011 ORDER: This contempt case is filed alleging that the respondents did not comply with the directions issued by this Court in W.P.No.6754 of 2011. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. W.P.No.6754 of 2011 was disposed of on 16.03.2011, directing the respondents to take final decision on the claim made by the petitioner on 21.12.2010 within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. The respondents sought extension of time by filing W.P.M.P.No.13761 of 2011. The time was extended by this Court by four weeks. The petitioner contends that despite the extension, the respondents did not pass any orders. However, during the pendency of the contempt case, an order, dated 21.07.2011 was passed rejecting the claim of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though extension of time was sought by the respondents, on the ground that correspondence with C.B.I. is pending, a totally different reason is furnished in paragraph 5 of the order, dated 21.07.2011. Learned counsel for the respondents, on the other hand, submits that the contents of paragraph 5 of the order, dated 21.07.2011, are only passing observations and they have nothing to do with the decision, which was taken by the respondents. The direction issued by this Court was only in relation to the disposal of the application submitted by the petitioner. Now that the respondents have taken decision, the petitioner has to work out its remedies in accordance with law. However, this Court takes exception to the attitude of the respondents in pleading one ground in the W.P.M.P., while seeking extension, and stating a totally different reason in the order, dated 21.07.2011. They ought to have been careful and but for the fact that there is some uncertainty about the timings, the respondents would have been dealt with for misleading this Court. The contempt case is accordingly closed. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 28.07.2011 Jsu THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Contempt Case No.896 of 2011 Date: 28.07.2011 JSU
