THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1616 of 2010 ORDER: This Contempt Case is filed alleging that the respondent has violated the directions issued by this Court in order, dated 21.08.2009 passed in Writ Petition No.20339 of 2009. In the writ petition, petitioner questioned order, dated 10.09.2003 passed in F.No.112/4376/97-FF(HC)-C rejecting his claim for grant of Swatantra Sainik Samman Pension. While setting aside the above said order, this Court by order, dated 21.08.2009 issued directions to the respondent to consider the matter afresh in the light of letter bearing No.27062/FF1/2008, dated 13.06.2008, issued by the Principal Secretary to the Government and also the date of birth entry made by the District Collector in the verification sheet annexed to proceedings, dated 05.03.2003. During the course of hearing, the learned Government Pleader filed counter-affidavit along with a copy of communication, dated 30.11.2010 sent by the Under Secretary to the Government of India, Ministry of Home Affairs, to the Pay and Accounts Office, Ministry of Home Affairs, New Delhi. In the aforesaid communication, it is clearly stated that the petitioner is granted pension with effect from 10.02.2010. In this Contempt Case, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is also eligible for pension from the earlier date and there is no reason for granting provisional pension from 10.02.2010. It is to be noticed that there is no direction from this Court for grant of pension from any particular date and the direction is only to consider the matter afresh in the light of letter, dated 13.06.2008. However, whether the petitioner is eligible for grant of pension from the earlier date than 10.02.2010 cannot be gone into in the present Contempt Case. As much as the respondent has complied with the directions issued by this Court by sanctioning pension to the petitioner and also by addressing to the Pay and Accounts Office, I do not find any ground to proceed against the respondent under the provisions of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. The Contempt Case is accordingly closed. However, it is made clear that if the petitioner is eligible for grant of pension from the earlier date than 10.02.2010, it is open to him to agitate in separate proceedings. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 24th JUNE, 2011. kvni
