CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL PATNA Order Sheet Item no.: 33 C.P./36/2025 (PATNA) [ CONTEMPT ] [ SENIOR CITIZEN ] In O.A./61/2023 CASUAL LABOUR Court No.: 1 No of Adjournment: 10 Order Dated: 10/11/2026 BIJAY PRASAD Vs CHIEF POSTMASTER GENRAL BIHAR CIRCLE PATNA 800001 AND OTHERS
For Applicant(s) Advocate : Mr. Om Prakash Singh For Respondent(s) Advocate : Mr. T. N. Thakur, Sr. CGSC Order of The Tribunal Heard learned counsel for the parties. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the order dated 27.09.2024 passed by this Tribunal in OA No. 61/2023, the alleged wilful disobedience of which has led to the institution of the present Contempt Petition, has been only partly complied with by the respondents. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondents has drawn the attention of this Bench to paragraphs 7 and 8 of the compliance affidavit, wherein it has been stated that the payment in terms of the Tribunal's order has already been made.
In response, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the alleged payment does not include the interest component, which also forms part of the direction issued by this Tribunal. In support of his contention, he has referred to Annexure-A to the compliance affidavit, which clearly indicates that the amount paid to the petitioner is towards retirement gratuity/death gratuity only. There is no reference whatsoever to the payment of interest therein. Therefore, according to learned counsel for the petitioner, it is evident that the interest component of the Tribunal's order remains uncomplied with. Learned counsel for the respondents seeks time to obtain necessary instructions from the respondents in order to ascertain whether the interest component has also been paid. He further submits that, in the event the same has not been paid, appropriate steps shall be taken to ensure payment thereof. Learned counsel for the respondents shall obtain specific instructions regarding payment of the interest component and apprise this Tribunal on the next date of listing. In view of the submissions made by learned counsel for the respondents, list this matter for further consideration on 23.12.2026.
