They had filed these contempt applications for implementation of judgment of this Court in the case of Dr Binod Kumar Pandey & Others –Versus- T M Bhagalpur University & Others being CWJC No 18552 of 2009 and analogous cases delivered on 05.07.2010. The said judgment related to the pay scale that was liable to be given to Teachers upon pay revision with effect from 01.01.1996. This Court allowed the writ petitions. As by the time the writ petitions 5 were filed and heard, pay scales were revised and recoveries were made, enhanced pay scales were reduced, there was huge liability on the University to refund and pay the amounts and not having complied with the order in the writ petitions, these contempt applications as against the Magadh University were filed. In MJC No 215 of 2011, a show cause has been filed on behalf of the State stating that substantial compliance has been made. One wonders what steps State is taking to seek compliance of order of this Court not only in Magadh University because several cases are still, as per show cause itself, languishing for compliance what to talk of other Universities where there have been no compliance whatsoever. Theses cases are those cases in which both parties have agreed that orders of this Court have been complied wherever refund was due, refund has been made and their salaries restored accordingly. In my view, in such a situation, these contempt applications have now become infructuous and are disposed of accordingly. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
