Petitioner has prayed for necessary action against respondent for non-compliance of the order passed by this court in Miscellaneous Civil Application No. 753 of 1989. By the said order, respondent was directed to pay arrears by 12 equal monthly instalments. That direction was given in view of the award passed by the Labour Court. However, said order is executable under the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act. In view of the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of the Alahar Co-operative Credit Service Society v. Sham Lal, reported in 1995 (2) G.L.H. 550, contempt proceeding is not a substitute for execution. In our opinion, when the petitioner can execute the order, which is in substance a claim for money, this court would not like to exercise its discretion under the Contempt of Courts Act. In the result, the petition is dismissed. Rule discharged. No costs.
