Admittedly, on the basis of pay- scale of Rs.12,420/- all the pensionary benefits have been calculated and paid to the petitioner by the University. However, petitioner claims that pay- scale of her husband should have been fixed at Rs.14,940/- with effect from 01.01.1996 and all the pensionary benefits should have been calculated on this basis. 2 This issue cannot be decided in a contempt proceeding. Petitioner is at liberty to agitate her claim in an appropriate proceeding in accordance with law for the purpose. This M.J.C. application is disposed of. BT ( J. N. Singh, J.)
