1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CONTEMPT PETITION NO.383 OF 2007 Shantaram Jagannath Patil .. Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra & Ors. .. Respondents Mrs.Leena Patil for petitioner Mr.A.J.Patil AGP for respondent No.1 CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 27th April 2010. P.C.: 1] The writ petition preferred by the petitioner was allowed by the Division Bench of this Court and it was directed that the petitioner should be given all benefits flowing from the Government Resolution (GR) dated 8th March 1999 without insisting on compliance with the condition in clause (2)(b) thereof. 2] The grievance is that is that this order is not complied with willfully and deliberately inasmuch as the benefits flowing from the GR have not been granted, particularly, the petitioner has not been given seniority from his initial date of appointment i.e. 2nd June 1995 but from 8th March 1999 i.e., the date of G.R. 2 3] In the affidavit in reply filed by the S.D.O., it has been appointed that the Division Bench order has been fully implemented. The benefits have been granted to him in terms of the GR without insisting on the conditions in clause (b) and they have been accepted by him. The interpretation placed on the order of the Division Bench is erroneous. 4] From a reading of the order passed by the Division Bench and clause 2(b) of the subject GR, it is apparent to me that the Division Bench did not exempt the petitioner from compliance with other conditions. The petitioner wants to interpret this order so as to grant him seniority from the date of his initial appointment as stipulated in clause 2(e) of the GR. The Division Bench has not exempted the petitioner from compliance with clause 2(e) but clause 2(b) of the same. Such being the direction and it being implemented by the authorities, there is no case made out of civil contempt. The petition is misconceived and it is accordingly dismissed. However, this shall not affect other remedies of the petitioner. (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J)
