-----------
3/ 30/03/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and
learned counsel for the State.
Show cause is stated to have been filed on
behalf of the opposite parties on 29.3.2011 which is not
on record. The office shall place it on record.
From the copy of the learned counsel for the
State placed before the Court it finds that a specific
statement has been made in paragraph-8 that the
joining of the petitioner has been accepted and
necessary steps are being taken for payment of salary to
the petitioner.
With regard to the aspect of payment of salary
mentioned in the show cause, learned counsel relies
2
upon a similar order of the Court in M.J.C. No.661/10
as follows:-
“Learned counsel for the State invites the
attention of the Court to the statement made in
paragraph-9 of the show cause filed by Abdul
Haffij, Block Education Extension Officer,
Block Dandari, District- Begusarai that steps
had been taken for payment of salary to the
petitioner.
The statement having been made on oath
in a show cause by a Government functionary
during contempt proceedings, the Court is
inclined to believe the same at this stage. If the
deponent belies the faith put in him by the
Court, serious consequences may ensue for the
deponent.
The Court expects that the assurance
shall be fully complied by actual payment to
the petitioner within a maximum period of
eight weeks from the date of
receipt/production of a copy of this order
before the Block Education Extension Officer,
Dandari, Begusarai.”
The contempt application is disposed with
similar directions and like observations except insofar
as the Government functionaries are concerned.
