Duly considering the contentions made by learned counsel for the petitioner and as well as the learned counsel for the respondents and in view of the fact that the respondents have considered the representation made by the petitioner and thereafter, sent the petitioner for medical board and after thorough examination of the petitioner’s medical report and specialist opinion, the medical board has found that the petitioner is fit for A2 category post in APSRTC, this Court is of the opinion that the orders passed by this Court in I.A.No.2 of 2020 in W.P.No.18347 of 2018 on 06.09.2022, have been complied with. However, if at all the petitioner has any further grievance, he/she is at liberty to assail the same in the main writ petition. 5. Accordingly, the Contempt Case is closed.
