JUDGMENT
1. This contempt of court case is filed alleging non-compliance of
the directions contained in Annexure A1 judgment. After
recording the findings of the Punjab and Haryana High Court
in Civil Writ Petition No.8015/2017 dated 28.09.2017 this
Court directed as follows:-
" Having considered the contentions advanced and having seen the findings rendered, I am of the opinion that different yardsticks cannot be adopted with regard to the computation of marks since the exam was a common examination. The relief granted by the Punjab and Haryana High Court to the petitioners therein will be applicable to the petitioners also. However, the grant of the benefits to the petitioners will be subject to orders, if any, to be passed in appeal as against the said judgment. "
2. Though arguments have been urged taking contentions that an
appeal had been preferred against the judgment of the learned
Single Judge in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, it is
admitted that there is no stay of the directions of the said
court, in the appeal.
