IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE SIDE Contempt Petition No. 430 of 2004 in Writ Petition No.1279 of 1995 1. Raoji Pandurang Sawant & Ors. ..Petitioners vs. 1. Sadanand Tukaram Ghorpade and others ..Respondents Shri R.V.Govilkar for petitioners. Shri A.H.Palekar, A.G.P. for respondent State. CORAM: A.M.KHANWILKAR J. CORAM: A.M.KHANWILKAR J. CORAM: A.M.KHANWILKAR J. 10th January,2006 10th January,2006 10th January,2006 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard counsel for the parties. 2. Essentially two grievances have been made across the bar by the counsel for the petitioners. The first grievance is that the petitioners have not been paid the difference in wages which they were entitled to receive. This submission is rightly countered by the counsel for the respondents relying on the statement made on affidavit that the petitioners have not only been paid as per the deemed date as per the IVth and Vth Pay revision but even the back wages relating to pay and allowances have also been paid over to the petitioners. There is no reasson to doubt the correctness of the statement made on affidavit by the respondents. In that sense the grievance in respect of non payment of difference in wages and payment cannot be accepted. 3. The second grievance made by Shri Govilkar in the petition is that the petitioners have not been appointed in terms of Govt.Resolution dated 20th April, 2001 which was to be done in terms of order dated 5th April, 2002. Even this submission does not command to me. The affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents before this court clearly states that the relevant G.Rs have been implemented in its totality. To get over this position Shri Govilkar submits that the petitioners have been appointed as Gauge Readers instead of Gauge Khalasi. This submission is made on the premise that the Govt. Resolution dated 20th April, 2001 requires appointment of the persons similarly situated as petitioners as Gauge Khalasi. The said Govt. Resolution is not placed on record nor any rejoinder affidavit has been filed on behalf of the petitioners controverting the stand taken by the respondents in reply affidavit that the appointments of the petitioners are in full compliance of the relevant G.Rs. In the circumstances, I see no reason to continue the present proceedings as the same are devoid of merits. Hence, dismissed.
