In the present contempt petition, the claim of the petitioner is that he is entitled to the pay scale of Rs.4500 -7300 with effect from 1.1.1986 i.e. the pay scale granted to the juniors to the petitioner. Since the said pay scale has not been granted to the petitioner inspite of the directions of this Court dated 7.6.1991 as affirmed by the Division Bench on 8.9.1995, therefore, the respondents have violated and willfully disobeyed the order passed by this Court.
