BEFORE
HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KAUSHIK GOSWAMI
ORDER
10.09.2025
Heard Mr. B D Konwar, learned Senior counsel assisted by Ms. M
Zomuanpuii, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Mr. S Das, learned
counsel for the contemnor/respondent Nos. 4 & 5 and Mr. A Chaliha, learned
counsel for the contemnor/respondent No. 6.
2. None appears for the contemnor/respondent Nos. 1, 2 & 3.
3. It appears that despite clear unambiguous order passed by this Court on
09.11.2018 in WP(C) No. 1228/2015, inter-alia, directing the respondents to pay
the petitioners basic scale of pay including arrears w.e.f. 22.01.2015 within a
Page No.# 9/9
period of 3 (three) months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the
order, the same has not been complied with till date.
4. It is unfortunate that despite receipt of show-cause notice in the instant
contempt petition, no affidavit has been filed till date by the
contemnors/respondents before this Court in response to the aforesaid show-
cause notice. The present contempt petition is pending adjudication since the
year 2019.
5. Though Mr. S Das, learned counsel for the contemnors/ respondents by
referring to the communication dated 15.10.2019 urged that the judgment and
order of this Court has already been complied with, Mr. B D Konwar, learned
Senior counsel for the petitioners vehemently objects to the same.
6. It appears that the contemnors/respondents by not filing the requisite
return in the matter, are taking the present contempt proceeding very casually.
7. Be that as it may, let the contemnors/respondents file their respective
affidavits by 24.09.2025, failing which they shall have to remain personally
present before this Court on the next date of listing of the matter.
8. In the meantime, in the event there has been any change to the posts
which the contemnors/respondents are holding, the petitioners shall do the
needful to bring on record the new incumbents.
9. Relist on 24.09.2025.
