IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.687 of 2006 1.BIHAR RAJYA UTPAD SIPAHI MAHASANGH, having its office in the premises of Assistant Commissioner Excise Collectorate Patna-1 through its President. 2.Rameshwar Yadav President, Bihar Rajya Utpad sipahi Mahasangh, son of late Ragho Yadav, Resident of Village-Nirpura, P.S. Goh, District-Aurangabad. Versus 1.STATE OF BIHAR . 2.Sudhir Kumar, Excise Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Excise and Prohibition department, government of Bihar, Patna. 3.P.N.Narainan, Finance Commissioner, department of Finance Government of Bihar, Patna. ----------- 17 24/7/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the contemnor-opposite parties. At long last good sense seems to have prevailed on the opposite parties in complying the order of the year 2004. Counsel for the State informs that the consequential notification of putting the Excise Constables in the matter of pay scales at par with the police constables had already been issued and the consequential benefits in terms of the said decision as per order of this Court will also be implemented within a period of three months from today. In that view of the matter, submission of learned counsel for the petitioner that the order of this Court has not been substantially complied with, seems to be misconceived. The major policy decision for compliance of the order of this Court has already been taken and also given effect by way of the notification communicating its decision to pay salary of the Excise Constables at par with the police constables in terms of the judgment of this Court. Thus the opposite parties cannot be said to be in contempt. 2 That being so, this contempt application is disposed of with a direction to the opposite parties to ensure that the actual payment of monitory benefits in terms of the policy decision as also deposit in the provident fund is effectively carried out within a period of three months from today.
