No.2745/89 and to extend benefit of regular pay scale from the date of their initial appointments was passed by this Court on 12.4.2006.

Needful shall be done by the respondents within a period of three months from the date of receipt of representation.”: The representation of the applicants was not decided in pursuance to the order passed by the writ Court on 11.12.2010 and, therefore, show cause notices have been issued to the non- applicants and they were directed to remain present on the next date of hearing i.e., today (5.12.2011). It is submitted by the non-applicants that after came to know about the order dated 11.12.2010 the applicants were directed to give all the details regarding their initial appointment 2 and other documents, but due to non submission of the documents their cases could not be considered in time as specified by the writ Court. It is also submitted that after going through their old record and order dated 29.11.2011 has been passed by which benefit of regular pay scale has been given to them from the date of their initial appointment, in the light of Madhukant Yadu's case (supra). It is also submitted that in one of the matter interim stay has been granted by the Apex Court and, therefore, the matter could not be decided in time. Considering these facts though there is delay in deciding the cases of the applicants, the non-applicants submit unconditional apology in not deciding the cases in time and now order has been passed by the competent authority and, therefore, at this stage no further action is required. With the aforesaid, contempt petition is disposed of. Rule nisi issued against the non-applicants is discharged. (P.K. Jaiswal, J.) rcs*
