ASHOK KUMAR AND OTHERS Versus RAKESH KANWAR AND ANOTHER CMP-20448 of 2025 in COPC - 124 of 2025 11.09.2025 Present: Ms. Vandana Thakur, Advocate, vice Mr. Surinder Saklani, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Rajan Kahol, Mr. Vishal Panwar and Mr. B.C. Verma, Additional Advocates General, with Mr. Ravi Chauhan, Deputy Advocate General, for State. While placing on record communication dated 10.09.2025, issued under the signatures of Director, School Education, Himachal Pradesh, enclosing therewith copy of office order dated 10.09.2025, whereby case of petitioners No.1 to 3 and 5 to 7 came to be considered, learned Additional Advocate General states that petitioners No.1 to 3 and 5 to 7, who were appointed on contract basis, have been considered as regular employee of the State in the pay scale of 10300+34800+4200 Grade Pay + allowances as admissible from time to time, from the date when they were initially appointed on contract basis with all consequential benefits, whereas cases of petitioners No.4 and 8 are being scrutinised. 2. Having carefully perused aforesaid communication as well as office order dated 10.09.2025, which are taken on record, there appears to be merit in the contention of learned Additional Advocate General that mandate contained in the judgment, alleged to have been violated, stands substantially complied with. 3. Since substantial compliance with regard to petitioners No.1 to 3 and 5 to 7 has been made, coupled with the fact that undertaking has been given by learned Additional Advocate General to scrutinise the case of remaining petitioners i.e. petitioners No.4 and 8, nothing remains to be adjudicated in the instant proceedings and accordingly the same is disposed of, however, respondents are directed to ensure that orders, as have been passed in the case of petitioners No.1 to 3 and 5 to 7 are also passed in the case of petitioners No.4 and 8 expeditiously, preferably, within a period of four weeks, failing which afore petitioners would be at liberty to get the contempt petition revived, so that appropriate action in accordance with law is taken against the erring official.
