Heard Mr. S. Behera, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs. S. Patnaik, AGA.

Eschewing the preliminary objection by learned counsel for the State on the ground of limitation, etc., I feel persuaded to dispose of the Contempt Petition to prevent further delay and harassment to the petitioners.

4.

Regard being had to the facts and submissions and the further fact that the contemnor-incumbent must have changed in the meantime, the Contempt Petition is disposed of directing the present incumbent / incumbents to comply with the order of the Orissa Administrative Tribunal, Cuttack passed in O.A.

within three months from the date of communication of this order, provided there is no other legal impediment or no order from the higher forum staying the operation of the order of the Orissa Administrative Tribunal for alleging violation of which the present Contempt Petition has been filed. If the present incumbent/incumbents fails/fail to comply with the order by the time prescribed, then the petitioners concerned may file fresh contempt for violation of the order of this Court.
