Madras High Court Sentences IAS Officer To Two Weeks Imprisonment For Failure To Implement Court Order In Service Matter

Live Law  

The Madras High Court has sentenced IAS officer Pradeep Yadav and two others to two weeks imprisonment and a fine of Rs. Pragasam submitted that his service was regularised only in March 19, 2021, and monetary benefits were not paid as per the observation of the court and thus the respondent authorities were liable for punishment under the provisions of Contempt of Courts Act for the wilful disobedience of the court. The court noted that after statutory notice was issued, the authorities appeared and sought time to comply with the order in toto and thereafter they issued a Government Order to extend the monetary benefits w.e.f 27.01.2000 to 29.06.2006 and also placed a certificate from the Principal, District Institute of Education and Training, wherein, it is stated that a sum of Rs.1,38,486/- has been credited to the petitioner's account on 28.07.2023 as per G.O. Though the respondents also submitted that a contempt appeal was preferred against earlier observations made by the court in the matter, the court noted that the same was nothing but an abuse of the process of law as the earlier observations regarding prima facie contempt was a mere observation and not an order of the court.
