For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Mahendra Kumar Joshi, Advocate
HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MANINDRA MOHAN SHRIVASTAVA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE CHANDRA KUMAR SONGARA Judgment / Order 19/12/2022
Heard.
After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and going through
the background of the case in which various orders came to be passed by
this Court as also a detailed common order passed by this Court on
01.12.2021 in D.B. Civil Contempt Petition No. 740/2016 and batch of
contempt petitions arising out of the similar issue, at present, instead of
initiating contempt proceedings against the respondents, we are inclined
to dispose off this contempt petition also on the similar lines as the order
passed on 01.12.2021 in D.B. Civil Contempt Petition No. 740/2016 and
batch of contempt petitions with following directions:-
1. It shall be an obligation on the part of the Director of Secondary
Education to immediately release the dues payable to the petitioner as per
the directions issued by this Court from time to time and the directions
which have already been issued by the Hon'ble Supreme Court on
(2 of 2) [CCP-1145/2022]
09.09.2021 in the case of State of Rajasthan Versus Manju Saxena & Ors.,
Special Leave to Appeal (C) No. 13791/2019, wherein, the Hon'ble
Supreme Court had directed compliance to be made within a period of
eight weeks.
2. A brief, but clear order regarding compliance of the order will have
to be passed by the concerned Directorate within a period of ten weeks
from today.
3. The order which is required to be passed clearly stating compliance
of the order, shall be reported directly to the Registry of this Court, which
shall be placed before this Court under a separate registered case.
4. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this contempt
petition, at this stage, is disposed off, however, with liberty to revive, if
any grievance still remains unredressed.
We must make it absolutely clear that if ultimately we find that
despite the order, the benefits, which the petitioner was entitle to, have
not been released, this Court may take a very serious view of the matter
and erring officials will have to be proceeded against strictly in accordance
with law resulting in all serious consequences, which the case may
deserve.
All the authorities including the Secretariat of the Department of
School Education as also the private school education officials shall be
under an obligation to provide necessary information, if any, demanded by
Directorate of Secondary Education, towards compliance of the order of
the Court. Non-cooperation shall be treated as an act of over reaching the
order of the Court.
