Pitchaiah, learned Counsel for the Contempt Petitioners and Ms. Maitraie, learned Counsel representing Ms. S. Pranathi, learned Counsel for Respondent Nos.3, 4, 5 & 6. 2. On the last occasion, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondents had furnished a statement indicating the deposit of amounts into the respective accounts of the Petitioners herein. Having received the 5 statement, Sri M. Pitchaiah, learned Counsel for the Petitioners, sought time to obtain Instructions as regards the receipt of the amounts. He would, on Instructions, submit that the amounts have been received into the respective accounts but it is not clear whether the Employee Provident Fund contributions have been made by the Employer. 3. This Court, at the outset, is of the opinion that the scope of enquiry in the present Contempt Case is limited only to the extent of whether the due amounts have been paid or not. 4. The Petitioners are at liberty to correspond with the Employer to verify whether the Employee Provident Fund contributions have been paid or not, which shall be a separate cause of action. 5. Since the amounts have been paid in the present Contempt Case, no further consideration of this Contempt Case is necessary. 6. Accordingly, the Contempt Case is closed. No order as to costs. 7. Liberty is granted to the Contempt Petitioners to approach this Court in the event of any non-compliance of the Order passed by this Court dated 20.11.2023 in W.P.No.3969 of 2020. 8. Interlocutory Applications, if any, stand closed in terms of this order. ______________________________________ GANNAMANENIRAMAKRISHNA PRASAD, J Dt: 02.09.2025 DSV 6 216 HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GANNAMANENI RAMAKRISHNA PRASAD CONTEMPT CASE NO: 2505/2024 02.09.2025 DSV 7 HIGH COURT OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT AMARAVATHI MAIN CASE No. CONTEMPT CASE NO: 2505/2024 PROCEEDING SHEET Sl.
