Counsel for the petitioner submits that certain portion of the order by way of payment of G.P.F. amount has been complied but admissible interest has not been paid. Counsel for the State would submit that if this be the admitted position, it cannot be said that the opposite parties have committed any contempt. He has however assured this Court that what ever amount is legally payable to the petitioner in terms of the earlier order of this Court, will be paid to him within a period of three months. In the opinion of this Court when there was no specific direction for quantified amount of Provident Fund and interest thereon the fact that the opposite parties in compliance of the order had made payment to petitioner which also includes the amount of interest no case for contempt is made out. This Court however would expect that the assurance given by the learned Counsel of 2 the State as recorded above would be carried out in letter and spirit. With the aforesaid observation this application is disposed of. Abhay Kumar ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
