JUSTICE NAVANITI PRASAD SINGH ORAL ORDER 15-04-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner wants this Court to adjudicate the matter. Since retiral dues are being withheld for settlement of certain dues, which are being enquired into, whatever may be the consequence of the action of the State is not contemptuous. If the petitioner is
