DEVIDAS DWARKOJI JADHAVversusARUN LAXMANRAO KARPE

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The contempt petition is disposed of as the respondent has complied with the order.

Summary

In Contempt Petition No. 314 of 2012, the respondent filed an affidavit on 7 September 2012 stating that it had paid the petitioner the provident fund amount of Rs.2,69,843 and gratuity amount of Rs.95,096 as ordered. The court examined the affidavit and found that the order under contempt had been complied with. Consequently, the court held that nothing remained to be adjudicated in the contempt petition. The petition was therefore disposed of, with the court granting the petitioner liberty to approach the appropriate legal remedy if dissatisfied with the quantum of the payment.

                 P.C. :


                 1.         In this contempt petition, the respondent has filed
                 affidavit-in-reply on 07.09.2012, wherein it is stated that the
                 provident fund amount of Rs.2,69,843/- and gratuity
                 amount of Rs.95,096/- has been paid to the petitioner.
                 2.         In view of the compliance of the order under
                 contempt, nothing survives in the contempt petition and the
                 same stands disposed of with liberty that if at all the
                 petitioner is aggrieved by the quantum of amount determined
                 by respondent, it would be open for the petitioner to agitate
                 the grievance by availing the appropriate remedy under law.
