IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE SEVENTEENTH DAY OF MARCH TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI CONTEMPT CASE No. 1303 OF 2009 Between: Dr. Md.Aijazuddin Hamed ..... PETITIONER AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh rep. by its Principal Secretary, Sri Suresh Chanda, IAS, Higher Education Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: Counsel for the Respondents: The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI CONTEMPT CASE No. 1303 of 2009 O R D E R : This contempt case is filed alleging violation of an interim order dated 01.05.2009 in W.P.M.P.No.12641 of 2009 in W.P.No.4602 of 2005, whereunder there was a direction to the respondents to pay the petitioner the minimum wages attached to the post of Junior Lecturer. The contempt case is filed only against the respondents 1 and 2 in the writ petition, alleging that there was total inaction on their part in implementing the orders of this Court. In the counter affidavit on behalf of the respondents 1 and 2 it is stated that since the selection of the petitioner was not made through a properly constituted Selection Committee, as prescribed in G.O.Ms.No.526, Education (Rules), dated 21.12.1988, they cannot be made liable for payment of the minimum scale of pay attached to the post held by the petitioner. Having regard to the stand taken by the respondents 1 and 2 and particularly keeping in view that the main writ petition is still pending, I am of the opinion that this is not a fit case to take cognizance under the Contempt of Courts Act. Accordingly, the Contempt Case is closed, granting liberty to the petitioner to move an appropriate application in the writ petition for redressal of his grievance or to proceed against the 3rd respondent, if so advised. No costs. ​_____________ Date: 17.03.2010 G. ROHINI, J. Ivd
