1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CONTEMPT PETITION NO. 51 OF 2010 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 9130 OF 2007 Shri Balasaheb Ganpati Sathe ... Petitioner Vs. Government of Maharashtra & Ors. ... Respondents Mr.R.R.Mahagaonkar, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. P.D.Dalvi, Advocate, for respondent No.4. CORAM: J.H.BHATIA, J. DATE : 15th March , 2010. P.C. 1. The petitioner has filed Writ Petition No.9130 of 2007 seeking direction to the management to put him in the pay scale applicable to B.A.B.Ed. and also to promote him as Head Master. By the Judgment dated 2.6.2008, this Court finally disposed of the petition directing the management to consider the petitioner in view of a G.R. Dated 9.7.1987 and to appropriately absorb him in B.A. B.Ed. Scale. It was further directed that unless the petitioner is absorbed, fresh recruitment to the B.A. B.Ed. Scale should not be made by the management. It is admitted that the petitioner has been absorbed in B.A.B.Ed scale and he has been appropriately placed in the seniority list on the basis of that pay scale. 2 2. By this petition, the petitioner contends that he has not been given promotion as Head Master and, therefore, the management has committed contempt of the Court. On perusal of the order dated 2.6.2008, it is clear that there was no direction from this Court that the petitioner be also promoted as Head Master, even though that was one of the prayers made by him in the petition. Merely because he had made a prayer, which was not granted by the Court in term, it cannot be held that by not giving promotion as Head Master, the management has committed any breach of the order of this Court. In fact, this petition is completely misconceived. The order of this Court is completely complied with. There was no justification for filing this Contempt Petition. 3. Therefore, the petition stands dismissed with costs of Rs.2,000/-, to be deposited with the Legal Aid Authority within four weeks from this day. (J.H.BHATIA,J.)
