IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE AND EQUITY. THIS CCC COMING ON FOR ORDERS THIS DAY. K.L.MANJUNATH 3. MADE THE FOLLOWING: - ORDER Since there are 13 contempt petitioners, they have paid separate Court fee. The registry is directed to give additional numbers to these petitions. These petitions are heard by consent of the parties and disposed of vide separate order. 2. The petitioners have preferred these Petitions Ofl the ground that the respondent has violated the interim order granted on 16.06.2010 by the learned single Judge in W.P.Nos.81284-296/2010. According to the petitioners though an interim order was granted in their favour the respondent bank is not allowing the pigmy collectors to collect arid deposit the same into the respondent’s branches. In the circumstances these petitions are filed. 3. The learned counsel for the respondent submits that the respondent has not violated the interim order passed by this Court and the respondent has never refused tot the pigmy amouit from the each of the petitioners. Therefore he requests the Court to dismiss these writ petitions. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioners refuted the submission of the learned counsel for the respondent. At this stage the learned counsel for the respondent submits that his statement may be placed on record and these petitions may be disposed of. In the circumstances we place the submission of the learned counsel for the respondent on record to the effect that the respondent has not refused to receive the pigmy amount from the petitioners and they are going to receive the amount collected by the pigmv agents and would deposit the amount collected without interruption. 5. In view of the same these petitions are closed. If any violation is made by the respondent in future it is open for the petitioners to revive these petitions. In such circumstances, the matter would be viewed seriously by this Court. Sd! JUDGE Srt
