Patil, counsel for the petitioner. Shri N.S. Khubalkar, Assistant Government Pleader for the R-1. CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, J. DATE : MARCH 31, 2009. Shri N.S. Khubalkar, the learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing on behalf of respondent no.1, states that the contempt petition is not tenable as the grievance committee is not a Court within the meaning of a term under the provisions of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. Even otherwise, the grievance of the petitioner to this contempt petition is that he was terminated by the management while he was teaching in the aided school and after his reinstatement he has been asked to teach the classes in the unaided school. In such background, it is apparent that the management must not have sent any proposal to the Education Officer for release of the salary of the petitioner after his 2 reinstatement. The said issue was not adjudicated by the grievance committee. Hence, without going into merits of the objection raised on behalf of the respondent no.1, it is necessary to dispose of this contempt petition. The petitioner is, however, free to take appropriate action in pursuance of the order passed by the grievance committee before an appropriate forum, if so advised, as the issue involved in this contempt petition is based on facts and requires some adjudication. The contempt petition is, therefore, disposed of with no order as to costs. JUDGE APTE
