JUSTICE MADE THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER
Perused the affidavit filed by Sri Girish S.R., Executive Engineer (Mechanical), Karnataka Power Corporation Limited stating that the representation of the complainant was decided on 15th June 2019. There is a controversy about the date on which a copy of the said order was served upon the complainant. The contention of the learned counsel appearing for the complainant is that there are two different copies of the order dated 15th June 2019 bearing different inward numbers.
2. Suffice it to say that the order of which breach is alleged has been complied with. Hence, no further action is warranted under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. 3
3. Accordingly, the contempt petition is disposed of. It will be always open for the complainant to challenge the aforesaid order in accordance with law.
