IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL CIVIL CONTEMPT PETITION NO. 77 OF 2008 Jayvir Singh Lingwal S/O Shri Kunvar Singh Lingwal, L.T. Assistant Teacher Science/Maths, Govt. Inter College, Jamlakhal, Pauri Garhwal.. …… Petitioner. Versus Harish Chandra Joshi, Secretary, Education Department Uttarakhand, Dehradun and three others. … Respondents. Sri M.S.Chauhan, learned counsel for the petitioner. Date May 23, 2008. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. Sri Mangal Singh Chauhan, learned counsel for the petitioner-applicant. This contempt petition has been filed for punishing the respondents for willful and deliberate disobedience of the order dated 6-12-1999 passed by this Court in Civil Misc.Writ Petition No. 46482 of 1999 (New WP No. 1871 of 2001) Jayvir Singh Lingwal Vs. State of U.P. and others. The order dated 6-12-1999 reads as under:- “Learned Counsel for the State prays and is allowed 4 weeks’ time to filing counter affidavit. List thereafter. In the meantime one post of Assistant Teacher in LT grade in Government College shall be kept reserved for the petitioner.” The averment made in para 18 of the affidavit accompantying to the contempt petition is that during the pendency of the writ petition, the respondent has terminated the service of the petitioner vide order dated 03-05-2008 while the petitioner was 2 appointed on the post of L.T.Grade Teacher Science and Mathematics in pursuance of the Court’s order dated 6-12-1999. The grievance of the petitioner is that the services of the petitioner have been terminated by the respondent, while he had been given appointment in pursuance of the Court’s order. From a bare perusal of the order dated 6-12-1999 it is evident that the Court had not passed any order to appoint the petitioner. I do not find any ground to proceed with the contempt petition in view of the order dated 6-12-1999 wherein the only direction was given to the respondents to reserve one post of Assistant Teacher in L.T. Grade for the petitioner in the Government College. Hence the termination of service is a new cause of action. The contempt petition is liable to be dismissed outright. The Contempt Petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner may assail the impugned order in a fresh writ petition, if so advised. ( B.S.Verma, J. ) RCP 3 4
