(ORAL) This order shall dispose of C.O.C.P.Nos.732 and 733 of 2005. Heard learned counsel for the parties at length. During the course of hearing, it transpires that the University- authorities have released certain payments, including gratuity, in favour of the petitioner and they have also paid interest thereupon with effect from 1.5.2005 as directed by this Court vide order dated 19.12.2006. There is, however, a dispute between the parties as to whether or not the University authorities are liable to pay to the petitioner his retiral and other monetary benefits for the period prior to taking over of the Management of the college by the University. Since no clear directions in this regard are contained in the judgment dated February 14, 2005 passed by this Court, I am of the C.O.C.P. No.732 of 2005 -2- considered view that the respondents cannot be held guilty of willful or deliberate disobedience of the orders passed by this Court. The appropriate remedy for the petitioner appears to be to seek either a clarification of the aforementioned order from the writ Court and/or to initiate execution proceedings against those who, according to the petitioner, are liable to release the balance payment. With liberty aforementioned, these contempt petitions are disposed of. Rule discharged. January 21, 2008 ( SURYA KANT ) poonam JUDGE
