Pursuant to the order of this Court dated 16th March, 2010, the Director of School Education is present in the court and has also filed an affidavit, which is taken on record. The opposite party no.1 has also filed an affidavit of compliance bringing on record a bank draft No.075524 dated 30th March, 2010 issued by the State Bank of India in favour of Bhuwan Chandra Kandpal, the applicant, for a sum of Rs.2,84,911/- The present contempt application has been filed for disobeying the order of the writ court dated 29th June, 2009 passed in Civil Misc. Writ Petition No.249 of 2001 wherein the writ court directed the respondents to pay the honorarium on the post of Shiksha Mitra to the petitioner for the period 14th March, 2001 till 15th July, 2008. Since the honorarium was not paid to the petitioner, the contempt proceedings were initiated. The opposite party no.1 has filed a counter affidavit indicating that he had prepared the payment-sheet for a sum of Rs.2,84,911/- and had forwarded it to the competent authority for necessary sanction. According to the opposite party no.1, the requisite papers was forwarded to the Director of School Education. By an order dated 16th March, 2010, this Court observed that the Director of School Education prima-facie was disobeying the order of the writ court and accordingly suo-moto directed the Registry to implead the Director of School Education as an opposite party. In the meanwhile, a recall application was filed before the writ court for the recall of the order dated 29th June, 2009. It has been stated that the recall application has been rejected against which, a Special Appeal has been filed in which an order dated 27th March, 2010 has been passed wherein the appellate court was prima facie of the opinion that the petitioner did not render services for the period 14.03.2001 to 15.07.2008. This court has perused an uncertified copy of the order dated 27.03.2010 passed in the Special Appeal. Since the Special Appeal has been fixed for hearing on 17.04.2010, this court is of the opinion that the bank draft of Rs.2,84,911/- cannot be disbursed to the applicant at this stage and the disbursement of this amount would be subject to the result of the Special Appeal. In view of the aforesaid, the Reader of this Court is directed to place the bank draft before the Registrar General of this Court, who will keep it in his possession till further orders of this Court. This contempt proceeding is being adjourned for a period of three months and shall be listed on 30th June, 2010. In the meanwhile, the parties may approach the appellate court. In view of the affidavits filed by the opposite parties and the interim order passed by the appellate court dated 27.04.2010 in Special Appeal No.30 of 2010, the presence of the opposite party no.3 is dispensed with till further orders of the court.
