1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. CONTEMPT PETITION NO.132 OF 2005 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 2963 OF 1991 (Sharad Madhaorao Bodade .v. Sunil Soni, Director and another) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. Shri M.I. Dhatrak, Advocate for the petitioner. Shri D.M. Kale, Advocate for the respondent No.1. CORAM : B.R. GAVAI, J. 8TH FEBRUARY, 2008. Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the respective parties. By way of present petition, the petitioner alleges non compliance of the order dated 12th January, 2005 passed in Writ Petition No.2963/1991. Vide the said order, this Court had directed the Director of Municipal Administration to take a decision regularizing the services of the petitioner to the post of peon within a period of three months from the date of the said order. Vide the said order, it is made clear that the petitioner would be entitled to the salary and other benefits admissible as a regular peon from the date on which he actually joins the services and that he shall not claim any amount towards back wages and other benefits. It has further been directed that the petitioner would be 2 entitled to such wages as are admissible to a daily wage employee for the period till his services are regularized. The petitioner was further aggrieved by the condition that the appointment was shown to be temporary and that the services of the petitioner would not be considered as pensionable. However, subsequently both these conditions have been withdrawn by the respondent. Shri M.I. Dhatrak, the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that as a matter of fact, the petitioner is entitled to entire back wages from the date of initial appointment, considering his services to be that of a peon. Perusal of the order particularly the portion, “However, in the facts and circumstances we make it clear that the petitioner will be entitled to the salary and other benefits admissible as a regular Peon from the date on which he actually joins the services and the petitioner shall not claim any amount towards back wages as regular Peon. It is further needless to mention that the petitioner would be entitled to such wages as are admissible to a daily wage employee for the period till his services are regularized”, would show that the contention raised in this behalf is without substance. Shri D.M. Kale, the learned Counsel for the 3 respondent No.1 submits that in pursuance to the said order, the services of the petitioner have been regularized with effect from 03.09.2005 and from that date, he has been regularly paid the salary of peon. It is further submitted that the payment as payable to daily wage employee till date of regularization of the service has been made to the petitioner. An affidavit is placed on record. An unconditional apology tendered by the respondent is accepted. In that view of the matter, I do not find any merit in the contempt petition. The Contempt Petition stands disposed of as such.
