THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION
ON 24.09.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
C.O (C) No. 133/2017 :2:
Dated this the 24th day of September, 2021.
JUDGMENT
This contempt petition is filed complaining that the directions
contained in the judgment dated 27.05.2016 in W.P.(C) No. 12242 of
2016 and the order in R.P. No. 680 of 2016 dated 22.09.2016 are not
complied with.
2. A detailed counter affidavit is filed by the 4 th respondent
refuting the allegations. However, today, when the matter was taken
up for consideration, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted
that the principal amount of Rs.2,00,000/- was paid in two instalments
as directed in the RP. However, the interest part is not paid. It is an
admitted fact that the society has run into various difficulties for
various factors, including misappropriation of substantial amounts and
is now managed by the Administrator appointed by the Government.
The fact that at least the principal amount is paid, I am of the
considered opinion that the contempt case can be closed, leaving open
the liberty of the petitioner to pursue her further remedies for payment
of interest before the Administrator. Further, the Government has
found that the Secretary, who has swindled money, is not having
personal any properties to be proceeded with.
3. In that view of the matter, there is no point in keeping this
contempt petition pending before this Court and it can be closed,
leaving open the liberty of the petitioner to raise appropriate claims
before the Administrator.
Therefore, this contempt case is closed, leaving open the liberty
of the petitioner to raise all her claims with respect to the interest
before the Administrator. In such an event, the Administrator shall
consider the same in accordance with law and do the necessary to
ventilate the grievance of the petitioner.
