(Oral) Having gone through the pleadings and having heard the petitioner in person and counsel for the respondents, though we do not find any contumacious conduct on the part of the respondents, however, in the peculiar facts and circumstances of this case, we are of the view that the interest of justice would be met in case the option exercised by the petitioner on 10.5.2011 is accepted. Accordingly, while dismissing the contempt petition and discharging notices, there will be a direction to the Secretary of the Commission to accept the option exercised by the petitioner on 10.5.2011 and fix his pay accordingly. This shall be done within a period of one month from today. The benefits arising out of the same shall also be disbursed to the petitioner within another one month. 2. An authenticated copy of this judgment shall be supplied to the petitioner. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. June 24, 2011. ( Justice V.K.Sharma), (karan/vs) Judge.
