DR. MERENINLA SENLEM THE PRINCIPAL DIRECTOR HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE NAGALAND KOHIMA Advocate for the Petitioner : TONGPOK PONGENER, AKUM JAMIR,LAKNYEI PHOM,ASENLA S LKR,VIKEHIENUO VIMERHA,M. DIVINA THERIE,KETI IMCHEN,OZUNGLILA,HADASHA RUANGMEI Advocate for the Respondent : , BEFORE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PRANJAL DAS ORDER Date : 27.04.2026 Heard Ms. Ozunglila, learned counsel for the petitioners . Also heard Mr. N. Mozhui, learned counsel for the respondents. 2. The contempt proceeding was filed by the petitioners aggrieved by the alleged disobedience of the judgment and order dated 22.11.2023 passed by this Court in WA No. Page No.# 5/6 14/2019, whereby respondents were directed to disburse salary amounts to the appellants including arrears amount. 3. The learned counsel for the respondents submits that in the meantime, the order has been complied and in support the same, he has also submitted before the Court a copy of employee detail report pertaining to the Personal Information Management System (PIMS) with regard to the petitioners. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioners who have initiated the contempt proceeding does not dispute the same and agrees with the submission that in the meantime, the order has been complied with. 5. Needless to say that it is a settled position of law that contempt proceedings is not a means of execution of orders passed by the Court and once an alleged contempt is pointed out, the matter is largely between the Court and the alleged contemnor. Nevertheless, the subsequent development about compliance of the order giving rise to the contempt proceedings cannot be overlooked at all. 6. It is also submitted by the learned counsel for the respondent Nos. 1 and 2 that the matter took some time to comply because the PIMS had to be generated with regard to the present employees and only thereafter, the payment of the arrears amount could be done, though money was sanctioned earlier. 7. In the entire circumstances, it would be just and fair to close the contempt proceeding. Accordingly, the contempt is Page No.# 6/6 closed and the contempt proceeding is disposed of accordingly.
