THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION
ON 26.08.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
COC 605/21 2
JUDGMENT
This case has been filed alleging that the directions issued by this
Court in the judgment dated 06.11.2020 have been violated.
2. However, the learned counsel for the respondent contested that
the afore allegation by saying that this Court had only directed the
respondent to consider and pass orders on the application of the
petitioner, which has been produced as Exhibit P3 in the writ petition and
this has been done through Annexure R-II order. He submitted that even
though the petitioner had requested for Career Advancement Promotions
(CAP) from AGP Stage 3 to Stage 4 and then to Stage 5 under the UGC
Regulations of the year 1996, same has been allowed under the ambit of
UGC Regulations of the year 2006, since the former Regulations would not
help him in any manner. He added that even though the petitioner is to
retire, on attaining the age of superannuation, on 31.08.2021, he will be
given all benefits under the CAP Promotions, for which the University
requires time at least till 31.10.2021.
3. When I consider the afore submissions, it is without doubt that
petitioner cannot now maintain that the judgment of this Court has been
violated, because he has been granted all benefits as have been requested
for by him in Exhibit P3 and further because the learned counsel for the
respondent now affirms that the petitioner will be given all benefits of the
CAP promotions, notwithstanding the fact that he will retire on
31.08.2021.
Thus, recording the afore submissions of the learned counsel for
the respondent, I close this contempt case without any further orders.
