JUDGEMENT
D.N.PATEL, J. -
(1.) THIS contempt application has been filed by the applicant, who is original respondent in the writ petition being W.P. (S) No.748 of 2010. The said Writ was preferred by the respondent Union of
India challenging the order passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal in O.A. No.139 of 2008
dated 6 th October, 2009. By the said order, the Central Administrative Tribunal had quashed and
set aside the order of dismissal of the present applicant and had passed an order for reinstatement
of the present applicant with consequential benefits.
(2.) LEARNED counsel for the applicant submitted that the order of the Central Administrative Tribunal dated 6th October, 2009 passed in O.A. No.139 of 2008 was challenged by the Union of India in
the writ petition being W.P. (S) No. 748 of 2010 which was dismissed by the Division Bench of this
Court vide order dated 3 rd February, 2012. Thereafter, the respondent No.2 ought to have
allowed the applicant to resume her duties as a Teacher in the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan,
Chandrapura, District - Bokaro. It is further submitted by the counsel for the applicant that under
one or the other pretext, the respondent No.2 is not obeying the order passed by the Division
Bench of this Court and, therefore, there is a willful disobedience of the order passed by this Court
dated 3rd February, 2013 and, therefore, he may be sent to Jail.
Counsel for the respondent No.2 submitted that they are ready and willing to comply with the order and allowing the present petitioner to resume her duties at Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan,
Chandrapura, District - Bokaro, but, her joining the duties may be made subject to the outcome of
Special Leave which the respondent No.2 had preferred before the Hon'ble Supreme Court
of India against the order passed by this Court dated 3rd February, 2012 in W.P. (S) No. 748 of
2010. Counsel for the respondent No.2 sought permission to use his mobile No.9334845860 from which he has telephoned Law Officer, namely Mr. Nagendra Goyel, of Kendriya Vidyalaya
Sangathan, New Delhi that today they are intimating to the counsel for the respondent No.2 by
Fax message that the present petitioner is allowed to resume her duties at Kendriya Vidyalaya
Sangathan, Chandrapura, District - Bokaro and, therefore, he is seeking time up to 4.00 p.m.
(3.) IT is high time for the respondent No.2 to understand that a Teacher who has filed O.A. No.139 of 2008, she has succeeded in her original application. Thereafter, the order passed therein was
challenged before this Court by way of W.P. (S) No. No.748 of 2010. This writ petition preferred by
the respondent No.2 has been dismissed by this Court vide order dated 3 rd February, 2012.
Enough time has been lapsed thereafter. When this Court asked a question what is the S.L.P.
Number, the counsel for respondent No.2 is not in a position to give the S.L.P. Number. When this
Court asked a question what is the last date of adjournment in the S.L.P., the counsel for the
respondent No.2 is unable to give any reply to this Court. When this Court again asked a question
what is the next date of adjournment, counsel for the respondent No.2 is unable to give the next
date of hearing in the S.L.P. Counsel for the respondent No.2 is also unable to state whether any
stay has been granted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in the said S.L.P.. Thus, it
prima facie appears that the respondent No.2 has to comply with the order passed by the Central
Administrative Tribunal as well as the order passed by the Division Bench of this Court dated 3rd
February, 2012 in W.P. (S) No.748 of 2010. Enough is enough. Original applicant, who is Teacher,
is waiting for justice since long. Even after succeeding in both the proceedings i.e. before the
Central Administrative Tribunal as well as before this High Court, she has not been allowed to
resume the duties. However, relying upon the statement of the counsel for the respondent No.2,
this matter is adjourned upto 4.00 p.m.;
