Compliance with court order on pensionable service ends contempt proceedings.

Headnote:The court examined compliance with its prior directive under relevant pension regulations to count the petitioner's full service period, from appointment to course certificate issuance, as pensionable service. Essential facts involved the petitioner's allegation of willful disobedience by respondents to the writ order dated 14.10.2025. The court found full compliance upon reviewing the Revised Pension Payment Order dated 24.03.2026, which accounted for 29 years and 2 months of service. The primary issue was whether respondents violated the writ court order by failing to fix pension based on complete service tenure. The court's reasoning affirmed compliance, as the revised order evidenced full service consideration for pension fixation, negating contempt grounds. Contempt Petition closed, with liberty to petitioner to reopen if order not fully implemented.
