Bains on 1 August, 2006<\/div>\n<div class=\"doc_author\">Author: S Kant<\/div>\n<div class=\"doc_bench\">Bench: S Kant<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<pre><\/pre>\n<p>JUDGMENT<\/p>\n<p>Surya Kant, J. <\/p>\n<p>1. The petitioners, along with one Narender Pal Singh, filed CWP  No. 13471 of 1998 seeking a direction to the Punjab Public Service  Commission to recommend their names for appointment as Veterinary  Officers against the posts reserved for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled  Tribes of the Punjab State. Their writ petition was allowed by this Court on  April 5, 1999 in the following terms:\n<\/p>\n<p> On the basis of above discussion, we hold that the decision of  the Commission not to recommend the names of the  petitioners, is legally unsustainable. Consequently, the writ  petition is allowed. The respondent-Commission is directed to  forward the names of the petitioners and other eligible  candidates of Scheduled Castes (General) who have not been  adjudged unsuitable to the Government for appointment  against the vacant posts of Scheduled Castes (General as well  as Balmikis\/Mazhbi Sikhs). This shall be done by the Commission within 30 days of the receipt of certified copy of  this order. Within next 30 days, the Government shall appoint  the candidates recommended by the Commission subject to  their being found suitable in other respects.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. It appears that the petitioners did not get appointments in terms of the  above stated judgment, therefore, they filed another writ petition bearing  No. 6404 of 2005, which was disposed of on May 3, 2005 in the following  terms:\n<\/p>\n<p> Learned Counsel for the respondents, on instructions from  Mr. Harsh Kumar, Superintendent, Office of the Secretary,  Animal Husbandry Department, Punjab states that the  judgment rendered by this Court in Narinder Pal Singh and  Ors. v. State of Punjab and Ors. (Civil Writ Petition  No. 13471 of 1998, decided on 5.4.1999) will be implemented  in letter and spirit within one month, by which time, all  consequential benefits shall be released to the petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. In compliance to the above stated orders and the stand taken before  this Court, the respondents have passed an order dated 13\/20 October, 2005  (annexure P-3) whereby their claim for retrospective appointment as  Veterinary Officer from 12 October, 1998, i.e., the date on which the junior  -most candidate in the reserved category of Scheduled Castes was  appointed, has been accepted. They have also been granted the  consequential benefits except &#8220;the arrears of pay&#8221; on the plea of &#8220;no work,  no pay&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. It may also be mentioned at this stage that the petitioners were selected in a subsequent selection also and were given appointment pursuant  thereto in September 2000. However, as a consequence of the above stated  directions issued by this Court, they were entitled to be appointed from  October, 1998.\n<\/p>\n<p>5. The petitioners, thus, claim that they are entitled to be paid  arrears of pay from 12 October, 1998, i.e., their deemed date of  appointments till they were otherwise appointed in September 2000 on the  basis of subsequent selection.\n<\/p>\n<p>6. In response to the show cause, respondent No. 1 has filed an  affidavit dated 28.7.2006, which is taken on record.  Various steps taken by the respondents to comply with the  orders passed by this Court have been enlisted in para 1 of the affidavit, the  relevant part of which reads as follows:\n<\/p>\n<p>(i) initially the answering deponent passed an order dated  13.10.2005 (Annexure P-3) for releasing rightful consequential  benefits to the petitioners, which accrued to them by virtue of  these orders. Vide this order, the petitioners have been allowed  all consequential benefits to which they were legally entitled,  <\/p>\n<p>(ii) the petitioners have been appointed as Veterinary Officers  w.e.f. 12.10.1998 (the date on which junior most candidate Sh.  Varinder Singh belonging to Scheduled Caste category of 1998  batch joined),  <\/p>\n<p>(iii) the pay of the petitioners for the period from the new date  of appointment to the actual date of appointment has been fixed  notionally,  <\/p>\n<p>(iv) separate orders regarding the clearance of their probation period w.e.f. 12.10.2000 have been passed by the deponent,  <\/p>\n<p>(v) orders giving them higher pay scale along with the due  arrears on the completion of 4 years of service (by reckoning  the date of appointment as 12.10.1998) have been passed by  the deponent and,  <\/p>\n<p>(vi) decision regarding their seniority has also been taken vide  order dated 24.7.2006.\n<\/p>\n<p>7. As regards arrears of pay, the respondent, in his affidavit, has taken  the following plea:\n<\/p>\n<p> However, as the petitioners had not worked in the department  during the intervening period, it was decided on the advice of  the Finance Department that in accordance with the principle  of &#8216;no work no pay&#8217;, the petitioners shall not be entitled to any  arrears on account of pay. Law on this principle has already  been set by the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court of India which is the  law of land. The Hon&#8217;ble Apex Court in its judgment delivered  in <a href=\"\/doc\/1444999\/\">A.K. Soumini v. State Bank of Tranvancore and  Anr.<\/a>  rejected the claim of the  appellant by applying the principle of &#8216;no work, no pay&#8217;.\n<\/p>\n<p>8. As can be noticed from the order dated 3.5.2005 passed by this Court  in CWP No. 6404 of 2005, a positive stand was taken before this Court that  the judgment dated 5.4.1999 passed in CWP No. 13471 of 1998 shall be  implemented in letter and spirit within one month by which time &#8220;all  consequential benefits shall be released to the petitioners&#8221;.  In these contempt proceedings, an endeavour has been made to  contend that the directions issued by this Court have been faithfully complied with.\n<\/p>\n<p>9. It may be true that the petitioners have been granted all the  &#8216;consequential benefits&#8217; like deemed date of appointment, seniority,  increments, etc. but the fact that one of the consequential benefit, namely,  &#8216;arrears of pay&#8217; from October 1998 till September 2000 have not been paid  to them.\n<\/p>\n<p>10. In the contempt proceedings, the respondents cannot be  permitted to seek review or modification of the order passed by the Writ  Court. Similarly, the scope of these proceedings cannot be enlarged to act  as an Appellate Court. Even if their defence with regard to non-payment of  arrears of pay is assumed to be correct, yet the same being contrary to the  directions contained in the order dated 3.5.2005 passed by this Court, the  respondents are obligated to release those arrears.\n<\/p>\n<p>11. However, having regard to the fact that the respondents being  harping under a misconception of law as if denial of arrears of pay to the  petitioners is justified in law, did not implement the said order and as such  are not, prima-facie, guilty of deliberate and willful defiance of the  directions of this Court, this petition is disposed of with a direction to the  respondents that the arrears of pay shall be paid to the petitioners within a  period of two months from today, failing which the petitioners shall be  claiming the same along with interest @ 6% per annum.\n<\/p>\n<p>12. Disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<p>13. Rule discharged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Surinder Pal Singh And Anr. vs Shri D.S.
