Sr. No. 20 2 CCP(S) No. 354/2025 in WP(C) No. 3751/2019 3. The respondents while filing the statement of facts have taken a specific stand that the order/judgment passed by the learned writ Court stands complied with, which for facility of reference is re-produced as under:- “That in compliance to the directions passed by the Hon’ble High Court vide order dated 11.10.2019, the answering respondents most respectfully submit that petitioner retired from the service upon attaining superannuation on 30.04.2019 and his pension case was submitted to the office of the Accountant General accordingly for release of pensionary benefits in his favour, but gratuity and commuted pension was withheld by their office and now the office of the Accountant General vide GPO dated 09.12.2025 has released the withheld gratuity amounting to Rs. 5,91,360/- and commuted value of pension amounting to Rs. 6,29,299/- in favour of the petitioner, thus complying with the directions issued by the Hon’ble High Court vide order dated 30.04.2019.” 4. Thus, in the light of the stand taken by the respondents by way of two separate compliance reports, this Court is of the view that the order/judgment passed by the learned writ Court stands complied with, therefore, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep this contempt petition alive. 5. Accordingly, the proceedings in the instant contempt petition are closed. Rule, if any, shall stand discharged. (WASIM SADIQ NARGAL) JUDGE JAMMU 21.07.2026 Sneha
