HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY AND HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR CONTEMPT CASE No.1581 OF 2010 JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Sanjay Kumar) This Contempt Case is filed alleging violation of the order dated 13-10-2010 passed by this Court in W.P.M.P. No.32872 of 2010 in W.P. No.25753 of 2010. 2. By the said order, the respondents were directed to consider the case of the petitioner for the purpose of ad-hoc promotion. It was further made clear that the order shall not be considered as a positive direction for the purpose of promotion. Alleging disobedience of the said order, the petitioner filed this contempt case. 3. Respondent Nos.1 to 3 filed their counter affidavit, duly supported by material, stating that the case of the petitioner was considered for ad-hoc promotion but as he was not in the zone of consideration, he was not granted the same. The proceedings of the Departmental Promotion Committee at the meeting held on 13-10- 2010 are placed on record which indicate that the Committee, being aware of the direction passed by this Court, considered the petitioner’s case for ad-hoc promotion. However, as his name was to be considered in the next panel as per his eligibility and seniority, the Committee recorded so, duly pointing out that he was not within the zone of consideration of the present Committee. 4. The petitioner, if aggrieved by this action of the respondents, necessarily has to challenge the same by way of separate proceedings. His grievance, if any, with regard to denial of candidature for the present panel cannot be made subject matter of enquiry in a contempt case. We therefore find no disobedience on the part of the respondents in implementing the order passed by this Court. 5. The Contempt Case is accordingly dismissed. ____________________ P.
