Rakesh Kumar Garg, J.(Oral)
CM No.23908-CII of 2008 CM is allowed subject to all just exceptions. COCP No.1928 of 2008 As per the averments made in this petition, CWP No.18723 of 1996 was allowed by this Court vide judgment dated 15.3.1997 and the respondents were directed to step up the pay of the petitioner in terms of the judgment of this Court dated 1.3.1995 passed in CWP No.17005 of 1989.
It is not disputed that the aforesaid judgment passed in favour of the petitioner was complied with by the respondent-Department by passing order dated 11.3.1998 vide Annexure P-3.
The grievance of the petitioner in this contempt petition is that now vide Annexure P-4 i.e. order dated 24.9.2008, the aforesaid benefit granted to the petitioner has been withdrawn by applying certain instructions which were not applicable to the case of the petitioner.
Be that as it may, since the order 15.3.1997 (Annexure P-2) was admittedly complied with and the order Annexure P-4 has been passed after 10 years of the compliance of the judgment Annexure P-2, I am not inclined to proceed further in this contempt petition. COCP No.1928 of 2008(O&M) -2-
Rule discharged.
If the petitioner is aggrieved against the withdrawal of certain benefits by application of wrong instructions in his case, he may seek an appropriate remedy against the same in accordance with law.
