Mr. Partha Sarathi Bhattacharyya, learned Senior Advocate submits that, the Provident Fund has not yet been released though the petitioner had retired on July 31, 2021.

Mr. Saktipada Jana, learned Advocate appearing for the alleged contemnor no.1 submits that, on the alleged ground of financial defalcation a criminal proceeding had been initiated against the petitioner after his retirement and the trial is still pending before the jurisdictional criminal Court. Be that as it may, since the Provident Fund claim is not within the scope of this contempt petition, this Court shall not entertain the same in exercising its contempt jurisdiction. It is also made clear that, this Court has not expressed any opinion on the claim of the petitioner for Provident Fund dues and the petitioner shall be at liberty to take steps in accordance with law, if so advised. In view of the above, nothing further survives in this contempt proceeding. The contempt proceeding, CPAN 1082 of 2023 stands dropped and closed.
