Smt.Suvvari Divya, Srikakulam Dist v. B. Ramanjaneyulu, Guntur Dist

The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy C.C. No.447 of 2017 Dated 23.03.2018 Between:

Smt.Suvvari Divya ... Petitioner and Sri B.Ramanjaneyulu

...Respondent

Counsel for the Petitioner:

Mr.C.Raghu Counsel for the respondent:

GP for Panchayat Raj The Court made the following:

Order:

This Contempt Case is filed alleging willful disobedience of Order, dated 19-01-2016, in WP.No.36149 of 2015, by the respondent.

The respondent filed a counter-affidavit wherein he has inter alia stated that after following the due process of law and considering the enquiry report, he has passed an order on 06-11-2017 imposing upon the delinquent the penalty of stoppage of one increment without cumulative effect. At the hearing, the respondent has tendered unconditional apology, if he has, without his knowledge, violated the order of this Court.

Mr.C.Raghu, learned Counsel for the petitioner, sought to argue that the punishment imposed upon the delinquent does not commensurate with the gravity of charges framed against him. Since the correctness or otherwise of the order passed by the respondent is not the subject matter of the Contempt, I refrain from adjudicating this aspect. As the respondent has complied with the order of this Court though belatedly, I am not inclined to proceed further against him in Contempt.

The Contempt Case is, accordingly, closed and the respondent is discharged from the contempt proceedings, however, with liberty to the petitioner to avail appropriate legal remedies, if she felt aggrieved by the order passed by the respondent.
