Respondents Mr.M.S.Lagu for the petitioners. Mr.A.I.Patel, A.G.P. for respondent No.1. Mr.Mandar Limaye for the respondent No.4. Ms.Gauri Godse for the respondent No.5. CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED: 20TH NOVEMBER, 2009 P.C.: 1. The contempt petition has been filed contending that there is a breach of the order of the Division Bench of this Court dated 10.2.2005 in Writ Petition No.4397 of 2004. By this order the Division Bench had directed the respondents to forward the salary bills within a period of 12 weeks from that date in respect of the petitioners who were untrained 2 teachers. A further direction was given that respondent Nos. 1 to 4 should consider the bills and if in law, the petitioners in that case were entitled, the grants should be released for payment of salary to petitioner Nos.1 to 3. An affidavit has been filed by the Government stating that the bills have been received and they cannot pay the amounts since the approval has not been received. 2. In my view, no contempt has been committed since the bills have been sent within the specific time and the Government has found that the amounts cannot be paid. However, merely because the contempt petition is being rejected, it does not in any manner mean that the petitioners have no case regarding their approval. 3. Contempt petition rejected. ...... 3
