IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH COCP No.1204 of 2009(O&M) Date of decision: 9.7.2009 Shankar Lal ......Petitioner Versus Sh. Naresh Gulati and ors. .......Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR GARG * * * Present: Mr. Anand Bhardwaj, Advocate for the petitioner. Rakesh Kumar Garg, J.(Oral) CM No.15527-CII of 2009 CM is allowed subject to all just exceptions. COCP No.1204 of 2009 The grouse of the petitioner in this contempt petition is that despite the fact that judgment dated 24.2.2009 passed by this Court in CWP No.15111 of 2007 directing the respondents to count the period of earlier service of the petitioner for the purpose of fixation of pay and grant of 1st ACP scale was duly communicated to the respondents vide Annexure P-2, the respondents have failed to give the necessary relief to the petitioner on the ground that they are challenging the aforesaid order by filing an appeal. Simply because the Department has decided to challenge the judgment dated 24.4.2009 itself cannot be a ground for non-compliance of the directions given by this Court. However, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to comply with the judgment Annexure P-1 within three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. Disposed of. July 9, 2009 (RAKESH KUMAR GARG) ps JUDGE
