1 S.B. CIVIL CONTEMPT PETITION NO.19/2007. (LOKESH KUMAR SAMDANI VS. SUDHIR BHARGAVA & ORS.) DATE OF ORDER : 21.04.2008. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. Amit Dave for Mr. P.P. Chaudhary for the petitioner. Mr. N.M. Lodha for the respondents. While accepting a petition for writ bearing No.1270/96 following direction was given to the respondents: “The respondents are directed to consider the candidature of the petitioner for the purpose of appointment to the post of Teacher Gr.III from the date order of appointment was issued in favour of respondent No.4. The appointment shall be given to the petitioner after considering his candidature if he is otherwise found fit. In compliance of the directions aforesaid, the District Education Officer (Elementary Education), Chittorgarh by an order dated 22.03.2006 accorded appointment to the petitioner w.e.f. 21.03.1996. 2 The instant contempt petition was filed with the allegation that though appointment has been accorded, but no salary was paid to the petitioner. Today, it is stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that payment of salary has now been started, but there is a disparity in the pay granted to Shri Jagdish Babu Trivedi and the petitioner though in pursuant to the order dated 22.03.2006. The seniority of the petitioner is also reckoned from 21.03.2006. I have considered the arguments advanced. I do not find any effort on part of the respondents for deliberate and willful non-compliance of the directions given by this Court. This Court on 13.10.2004 directed the respondents to appoint the petitioner as Teacher Grade III from the date the appointment was given to Shri Jagdish Babu Trivedi. The respondents vide order dated 22.10.2006 have already accorded appointment to the petitioner and they have also started payment of the salary. If there is any disparity in the pay, then that cannot be said to be deliberate and willful non-compliance of the directions given by this Court. If the petitioner is having any grievance with regard to quantum of wages or for his entitlement of grant of selection grade, he may avail appropriate remedy available to him, but in no case it can be said that the respondents have 3 committed any act which may term as Contempt of the Court. Accordingly, the contempt petition is dismissed, rule issued is discharged. (GOVIND MATHUR)J. Anil/
