No. 6685 of 2005 and 6694 of 2005, Annexure-1, the Municipal Commissioner, Patna Municipal Corporation has considered the case of the petitioners for grant of higher scale of the pipeline inspector of Rs.1200-1800/-/4000-6000/- and has rejected the same on the ground that petitioner does not have the qualification of pipeline inspector as he has no training from the I.T.I. Besides the aforesaid ground other grounds have also been taken in the order. In the circumstances, I am of the view that the Municipal Commissioner has purged himself of the contempt of the orders of this Court by passing order dated 3.10.2009, Annexure-A to the show cause. Accordingly, this contempt application is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to challenge order dated 3.10.2009, Annexure-A. Rajesh/ (V.N.Sinha, J.)
