                                                     JUDGMENT

(delivered by PUSHPA SATHYANARAYANA, J.)

Challenge in this writ appeal is to the order of the writ court

dated 13.03.2019 made in W.P. No.3170 of 2014.

2. At the time of disposal of the writ petition, the learned single

Judge had directed the first respondent therein/first appellant herein

to settle the DCRG benefits along with 9% interest from the date of

superannuation till the date of payment, within a period of four

months from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. As the same

was not complied with, a contempt petition in Cont. Petn.

No.1782/2019 was filed. After initiation of the contempt proceedings,

the order of the learned single Judge was complied with in

Government Letter No.25811/AA4(2)/2019-22 Agriculture Department

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis/

W.A. No.119 of 2021 and C.M.P. No.694 of 2021

dated 13.11.2019, the order to pay the DCRG was passed.

3. It is further stated that out of 9% interest payable, only 8%

interest was paid on 18.11.2019 and the balance 1% interest was also

paid on 09.04.2021, based on which the contempt petition was closed.

4. In view of the above compliance of the order of the learned

single Judge, nothing survives for adjudication in the writ appeal.

Accordingly, the writ appeal is dismissed as infructuous. No costs.

Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
