The Director (Secondary Education), Bihar, Patna is present and states that the enquiry by the Committee in terms of the orders of the Division Bench shall be concluded within the time fixed by the Division Bench i.e. six months from the date of the order of the Division Bench i.e. 23.10.2008.

It is, however, made clear that in the event enquiry is not completed within the said period then the petitioners be paid their current salary. With the aforesaid observation and direction, this contempt application is disposed of. P.K.P (V.N.Sinha,J.)
