(Oral) According to the petitioner, in terms of the order passed by the Tribunal, the petitioner could have been appointed as regular employee, while appointing him on compassionate basis and not as a daily wager. It cannot be said that it is a matter of contempt. However, we make it clear that the petitioner will be free to pursue his grievance, as above, and any other issue arising out of the matter in any appropriate proceedings. Without prejudice to such liberty, the contempt petition is dismissed. We make it also clear that such an attempt shall not be rejected on the only ground of delay since the petitioner has been prosecuting his grievance in the contempt proceedings. Dasti copy.
