24-02-2021 ct no. 13 Sl.3 pk WPCRC 17175 of 2003 (Through Video Conference) Manoranjan Chakrkaborty Versus Sri Subimal Samanta and others Mr. Ashim Kumar Routh …for the petitioner The writ petitioner seeks to move this contempt application filed in the year 2003. It appears from the order sheet that the matter has earlier been moved on 18.12.2003 and 03.03.2004. The petitioner does not appear to have taken any step to get the matter listed or seek any remedies in respect of the order dated 27th September, 2002, after March, 2004. It is submitted by counsel for the petitioner that he has not received any salary or allowances from the Bank for about 19 years now. It is difficult for this Court to believe that the petitioner has been working without salary for 17 years continuously. It is equally difficult for this Court to entertain the contempt application after 18 years of inaction on the part of the petitioner. 2 In those circumstances, WPCRC 17175 of 2003 shall stand dismissed. In view of dismissal of the contempt application, connected application, if any, also stands dismissed. The remedies, if any, available in law to the petitioner either in respect of the order dated 27th September, 2002 or otherwise, may be agitated in appropriate proceedings in accordance with law. No order as to costs. All parties are directed to act on a server copy of this order on usual undertakings. (Rajasekhar Mantha, J.)
