ORDER

The order of the Writ Court was to the effect that the terminal benefits of 25% payable to late Muthusamy should be disbursed in favour of the petitioner herein - daughter of late Muthusamy and the balance 75% shall be adjudicated before the Civil Court. Accordingly, the Bank had disbursed 25% of the terminal benefits to the petitioner herein which is also admitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner. Insofar as the remaining 75% of the terminal benefits are concerned, the Civil Court had adjudicated the dispute among the parties and through the judgment and decree dated 29.01.2014 passed in O.S.No.335 of 2011 by the II Additional Sub Court, Salem, this amount was directed to be paid to the third respondent herein, who claims to be the wife of late Muthusamy. Accordingly, the Bank has also disbursed the remaining 75% to the wife in accordance with the judgment and decree of the Civil Court.

2/3

2. Hence, I do not find any disobedience in the present action on the part of the respondent Bank. As a matter of fact, this Court is of the view that the disbursement of 25% in favour of the petitioner - daughter and the balance 75% is in compliance of the order of the Writ Court passed in W.P.No.38519 of 2004 dated 18.08.2008.

In view of the above observation, this Contempt Petition stands dismissed.
