IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.3244 of 2008 NIRBHAY KUMAR Versus CHIEF POST OFFICE,G.P.O & ANR ----------- 6 01-10-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Nobody appears on behalf of opposite parties. The Division Bench by its order dated 21-1-2008 contained in annexure-1 quashed the termination order in respect of the petitioner and declared that his relationship with the respondent as employer and employee will be restored, but the respondent shall remain under suspension and liberty was also granted that the authority may hold departmental enquiry, if so desired, in accordance with law. The petitioner wants this court to hold that petitioner’s joining pursuant to order of the Division Bench should have been given effect from the date he was terminated. That issue cannot be raised in a contempt jurisdiction. More so when departmental proceeding is going on and no decision on that issue has yet been taken by the authority, in case any decision is taken contrary to the judgment of the Division Bench, that shall be a ground for the petitioner to either file a contempt application or to 2 seek redressal through an appropriate proceeding in accordance with law. The contempt application is disposed of. Naresh ( Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J)
