It is evident from the said order that the direction was only to consider the grievance of the petitioner after verifying the fact as to whether the termination order during the period in question was set aside by this Court or not and thereafter to pass a reasoned order regarding payment of salary in accordance with law. By his order dated 9.2.2007 (Annexure-5), the Secretary, Department of Health had considered the various matters and directed the Civil Surgeon, Sasaram that if the petitioners of the writ petition, including the present petitioner, had worked during the said period then their salary be paid and, thereafter, the Director-in- - 2 - Chief was directed to take a decision in the matter of payment within a month. It is stated in the show cause that by order dated 26.11.2007 the claim of the petitioner of the writ petition has been rejected. In the above circumstances, no case for proceeding under the contempt jurisdiction of this Court is made out. The contempt application is, accordingly, dismissed. The petitioner, if aggrieved by the said order, may challenge the same in appropriate proceedings. VPS ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J. )
