In the affidavit, it was contended that the respondents failed to comply with the order passed by this Court. 5. When the matter is taken up for consideration, Sri K. Varun, learned counsel representing Sri G.L. Narasimha Reddy, learned counsel appearing for the respondent, submitted G.O.Ms.No.4 Animal Husbandry, Dairy Development & Fisheries (Fish) Department, dated 28.02.2025. A perusal of said G.O., it would indicate that the Departmental Promotion Committee approved the names of certain individuals, including the petitioner, for the panel of the Joint Director of Fisheries fit for promotion to the category of the Additional Director of Fisheries, for the panel year 2024-25. However, in respect of the petitioner, in remarks column, it was mentioned that as follows: “included and promotion be deferred until termination of the disciplinary proceedings pending against him in terms of G.O.Ms.No.424, G.A (Ser.C) Dept., dt:15.04.1976 read with G.O.Ms.No.257 (Ser.C) Dept., dt:10.06.1999”. 6. Thus, as seen from the G.O.Ms.No.4, dated 28.02.2025, a speaking order was passed. Since a reasoned order was passed, this Court does not find any violation of the order dated 29.01.2025 in W.P.No.17440 of 2024. 7. Given the facts and circumstances of the case, the Contempt Case is dismissed. However, it is open to the petitioner to challenge the speaking order if aggrieved. No order as to costs. As a sequel, pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________________ JUSTICE SUBBA REDDY SATTI Date : 19.06.2025 TVN SRS,J C.C.No.868 of 2025 157 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SUBBA REDDY SATTI CONTEMPT CASE No.868 OF 2025 Date : 19.06.2025 TVN
